Template:Infobox writer

Brian K. Vaughan (Template:IPAc-en; born July 17, 1976) is an American comic book and television writer, best known for the comic book series Y: The Last Man, Ex Machina, Runaways, Pride of Baghdad, Saga, and Paper Girls.

Vaughan was a writer, story editor and producer of the television series Lost during seasons three through five. He was nominated for a Writers Guild of America Award for Best Dramatic Series at the February 2009 ceremony for his work on the fourth season.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> The writing staff was nominated for the award again at the February 2010 ceremony for their work on the fifth season.<ref name="WGA 10 Official">Template:Cite web</ref> He was formerly the showrunner and executive producer of the TV series Under the Dome.<ref name=Time>Wolk, Douglas (August 5, 2013). "Masters of the Universe. The space story Saga is the comic world's big hit". Time. p. 54.</ref>

Wired describes Vaughan's comics work as "quirky, acclaimed stories that don't pander and still pound pulses". His creator-owned comics work is also characterized by "finite, meticulous, years-long story arcs", on which Vaughan comments, "That's storytelling, with a beginning, a middle, and an end. Something like Spider-Man, a book that never has a third act, that seems crazy."<ref name=Wired4.24.07>Rogers, Adam (April 24, 2007). "The 2007 Rave Awards: Print: The Storyteller". Wired</ref> In 2007, Erik Malinowski, also of Wired, called Vaughan "the greatest comic book visionary of the last five years", comparing him to Frank Miller, Alan Moore, Paul Pope, and Steve Niles, and praised his addition to the TV series Lost as redeeming that series' third season.<ref name=Wired4.19.07>Malinowski, Erik (April 19, 2007). "10 Reasons Why Brian K. Vaughan’s 'Lost' Was the Best Ever". Wired.</ref>

For his writing, Vaughan has won 14 Eisner Awards, 15 Harvey Awards, and two Hugo Awards.

"'Lost' writer Brian K. Vaughan is a Cleveland native". Cleveland.com.</ref> Before beginning his career in comics, Vaughan worked as an auxiliary police officer, a live-in dog butler, and a psychiatric ward employee.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref>

Vaughan and his older brother are both fans of writer Peter David, and according to Vaughan, their adolescent comics reading was largely defined by a shared love of David's 12-year run on The Incredible Hulk.<ref name="Saga#10">Template:Cite comic</ref> Vaughan also cites Joss Whedon as the reason he wanted to become a writer,<ref name="NewYorkTimes">Heyman, Marshall (February 17, 2008). "The Last Man Exits". The New York Times.</ref> a decision he made while attending St. Ignatius High School, from which he graduated in 1994.<ref name="Cleveland.com" />

Vaughan attended the New York University Tisch School of the Arts to study film. While a student there, Vaughan took part in Marvel Comics's Stan-hattan Project, a class for fledgling comic book writers.<ref name="Cleveland.com" /><ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

Career

Vaughan's first credit was for Marvel Comics' Tales from the Age of Apocalypse #2 (December 1996). He would eventually write for some of the highest-profile characters at Marvel, including the X-Men, Spider-Man, and Captain America. He would also write Batman and Green Lantern for DC Comics, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight for Dark Horse Comics.<ref name=Cleveland.com/>

From 2002 to 2008, Vaughan, who came to prefer writing his own characters,<ref name=WizardWorld>Bendis, Brian Michael (July 25, 2006). "BRIAN BENDIS PRESENTS...Marvel scribe Brian Bendis interviews creators in and around the comics industry." Wizard World.</ref> wrote the creator-owned monthly series Y: The Last Man, a post-apocalyptic science fiction series about the only man to survive the apparent simultaneous death of every male mammal on Earth. The series was published in sixty issues by Vertigo and collected in a series of ten paperback volumes (and later a series of five hardcover "Deluxe" volumes). The series received Eisner Awards in 2005 and 2008, and numerous other nominations.<ref name=Eisners05>"2005 Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards". Hahn Library Comic Book Awards Almanac. Retrieved March 17, 2012.</ref><ref name=SDCC08>"Eisner Awards Celebrate the 'Magic of Comics'" Template:Webarchive. San Diego Comic-Con. Retrieved March 17, 2012.</ref> The film rights to the series were acquired by New Line Cinema.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Vaughan wrote his own screenplay for the project,<ref name=Wired4.24.07/> though it was reported in March 2012 that Matthew Federman and Stephen Scaia were in final negotiations to write their own version.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

In 2006, Vaughan published the graphic novel Pride of Baghdad, which centers on a group of lions who escape from an Iraqi zoo after the start of the Iraq War.<ref name=Wired4.24.07/> The book was praised by IGN,<ref>Goldstein, Hilary (September 14, 2006). "Pride of Baghdad Review ". IGN.</ref> who named it the Best Original Graphic Novel of 2006, calling it a "modern classic", lauding it for combining a tale of survival and family with a powerful analogy of war, and praising Vaughan for representing various viewpoints through the different lion characters.<ref name=IGNPride>"Best of 2006: Best Original Graphic Novel". IGN. Retrieved March 17, 2012.</ref>

From 2004 to 2010 Vaughan wrote another creator-owned series, Ex Machina, a political thriller that depicts the life of Mitchell Hundred, a former superhero known as the Great Machine who, in the wake of his heroism during the September 11, 2001 attacks, is elected Mayor of New York City.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> The story is set during Hundred's term in office, and interwoven with flashbacks to his past as the Great Machine. Through this, the series explores both the political situations Hundred finds himself in, and the mysteries surrounding his superpowers. New Line Cinema purchased the film rights to the series in July 2005, and commissioned Vaughan to write one of the two commissioned scripts,<ref>"New Line Adapting Ex Machina". IGN. July 14, 2005</ref> which he was reported to be working on in 2007.<ref name=Wired4.24.07/> Following the conclusion of Ex Machina in 2010, Vaughan reiterated his previous statement that he would concentrate on creator-owned work, saying, "I realized when I turned in this final Ex Machina script that it would be the first time I wasn't under some kind of deadline at Marvel or DC since 1996. That's a huge chunk of my life to spend with those characters. I love them, and I still read Marvel and DC's superhero books. I just think I'm better when I'm working on my own creations. When there are so many talented creators out there who are better at that stuff than me, I should leave those characters to them. I should do what I'm fortunate enough to be in the position to do, which is to create more new stuff."<ref>Schedeen, Jesse (August 12, 2010). "What's Next for Brian K. Vaughan?". IGN.</ref>

Vaughan was a writer, executive story editor and producer for seasons 3 to 5 on the ABC TV series Lost, a job he earned on the basis of his work on Y: The Last Man,<ref name=Wired4.24.07/> of which Lost co-creator and executive producer Damon Lindelof was an ardent fan. Lindelof showed that book to series showrunner and executive producer Carlton Cuse. Lindelof relates, "And I told him, 'We need a guy like this on the show, but I don't think he'd ever do it. I don't think he even works in L.A.' And the next thing we knew, he was on the show." He began his stint on the series as executive story editor with the episode "The Man from Tallahassee", which premiered in March 2007. Vaughan continued as story editor on several episodes until he began writing episodes, beginning with the episode "Catch-22", which Vaughan co-wrote with Jeff Pinkner, and premiered in April that year.<ref name=Cleveland.com/> That episode was praised by Wired writer Erik Malinowski, who stated that the themes that Vaughan carried over to Lost from his comics work, including intricately crafted storylines typified by pathos and hope, as well as pop culture references, redeemed that series' third season.<ref name=Wired4.19.07/>

Vaughan would write a total of 7 episodes, the last of which was the April 2009 episode "Dead Is Dead". He was first credited as a producer with the fourth-season premiere "The Beginning of the End", eventually acting as producer on a total of 29 episodes. He was also a co-producer on Lost: Missing Pieces, a spinoff Internet short film series produced during the hiatus between the show's third and fourth seasons.

In November 2011 Steven Spielberg selected Vaughan to adapt the Stephen King novel Under the Dome into a television series for Showtime, which is Vaughan's first television work since Lost.<ref>O'Neal, Sean (November 8, 2011). "Brian K. Vaughan to adapt Stephen King's Under The Dome for Showtime ". The A.V.

On March 14, 2012, Image Comics published the first issue of Vaughan and Fiona Staples' epic space opera/fantasy series Saga, which he conceived to be a concept strictly relegated to comics, and not adapted to other media. Although Vaughan was a child when he first conceived of the ideas for the book – which owes its inspiration to Star Wars – it was not until his wife became pregnant with his second child that he began to write the series, which harbors parenthood as an underlying theme.<ref name="ComicsAlliance">Uzumeri, David (March 14, 2012).
