  • Alfonso Williamson (March 21, 1931 – June 12, 2010) was an American cartoonist, comic book artist and illustrator specializing in adventure, Western, science fiction and fantasy. Born in New York City, he spent much of his early childhood in Bogotá, Colombia before moving back to the United States at the age of 12. In his youth, Williamson developed an interest in comic strips, particularly Alex Raymond's Flash Gordon. He took art classes at Burne Hogarth's Cartoonists and Illustrators School, there befriending future cartoonists Wally Wood and Roy Krenkel, who introduced him to the work of illustrators who had influenced adventure strips. Before long, he was working professionally in the comics industry. His most notable works include his science-fiction/heroic-fantasy art for EC Comics in the 1950s, on titles including Weird Science and Weird Fantasy. In the 1960s, he gained recognition for continuing Raymond's illustrative tradition with his work on the Flash Gordon comic-book series, and was a seminal contributor to the Warren Publishing's black-and-white horror comics magazines Creepy and Eerie. Williamson spent most of the 1970s working on his own credited strip, another Raymond creation, Secret Agent X-9. The following decade, he became known for his work adapting Star Wars films to comic books and newspaper strips. From the mid-1980s to 2003, he was primarily active as an inker, mainly on Marvel Comics superhero titles starring such characters as Daredevil, Spider-Man, and Spider-Girl. Williamson is known for his collaborations with a group of artists including Frank Frazetta, Roy Krenkel, Angelo Torres, and George Woodbridge, which was affectionately known as the "Fleagle Gang". Williamson has been cited as a stylistic influence on a number of younger artists, and encouraged many, helping such newcomers as Bernie Wrightson and Michael Kaluta enter the profession. He has won several industry awards, and six career-retrospective books about him have been published since 1998. Living in Pennsylvania with his wife Corina, Williamson retired in his seventies. Williamson was inducted into the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame in 2000. (en)

  • Al Williamson, né le 21 mars 1931 à New York et mort le 12 juin 2010 dans l'upstate New York, est un auteur et dessinateur de bande dessinée américain, spécialisé dans l'aventure, le western et la science-fiction/fantasy. Dans sa jeunesse, passée en Colombie, il découvre les bandes dessinées américaines et Flash Gordon qui le marque beaucoup. Revenu aux États-Unis avec sa mère, il prend des cours de dessin et assiste Burne Hogarth, auteur du comic strip de Tarzan. Dans les années 1950, après avoir commencé à placer chez plusieurs éditeurs quelques histoires, il travaille régulièrement pour EC Comics jusqu'à ce que la censure de Comics Code Authority oblige l'éditeur à cesser toutes ses parutions à l'exception notable de Mad. Il recommence donc à passer d'un éditeur à l'autre, illustrant de nombreuses histoires. À partir de 1960 il est l'assistant de John Prentice sur le comic strip Rip Kirby. Il reste à ce poste jusqu'en 1963 puis, à partir de 1964, il dessine des histoires pour les magazines d'horreur Eerie et Creepy publiés par Warren Publishing. Il est aussi présent chez d'autres éditeurs et réalise plusieurs histoires de Flash Gordon. En 1967, avec Archie Goodwin au scénario, il reprend le comic strip Agent Secret X-9 créé par Alex Raymond. Il reste sur cette série pendant 13 ans. Au début des années 1980, il dessine l'adaptation de L'Empire contre-attaque et de Le Retour du Jedi ainsi que celles de Flash Gordon et de Blade Runner. Par la suite, il préfère se contenter du rôle d'encreur, surtout sur des séries publiées par Marvel Comics. Il dessine encore quelques histoires, dont un Flash Gordon publié en 1995 par Marvel. Touché par la maladie d'Alzheimer, il finit par prendre sa retraite en 2009 mais meurt peu après, le 12 juin 2010. Récompensé par de nombreux prix, prix Alley, prix Inkpot, prix Eisner, prix Harvey, pour son travail de dessinateur ou celui d'encreur, Al Williamson est un artiste reconnu autant pour son style réaliste qui fait cependant la part belle à des personnages à la stature exceptionnelle que pour son sens du récit.
