Life

While studying film at New York University, he made contact with the comic industry through a workshop and was able to publish his first stories at Marvel. In the years that followed, he wrote for some of Marvel and DC's most famous series such as X-Men , Spider-Man , Batman and Green Lantern . From 2002 onwards, Vaughan concentrated on self-contained stories with his own characters such as Ex Machina , Y: The Last Man and the graphic novel The Lions of Baghdad , which appeared on the DC imprints Vertigo and Wildstorm. For this work he received the renowned Eisner Award several times in the following years .

In 2006 Vaughan moved to Los Angeles to devote himself to planned - but previously unrealized - film adaptations of his comic works Ex Machina and Y - The Last Man for New Line Cinema . With screenwriter and producer Damon Lindelof impressed by his releases, Vaughan got the chance to work on the hit television series Lost . From 2007 to 2009 he acted as co-writer and co-producer from the third to the fifth season.

2011 chose Steven Spielberg Brian K. Vaughan from the novel The Arena of Stephen King to adapt as a television series. Vaughan works as a screenwriter, showrunner and executive producer in the series, which will be broadcast in German-speaking countries under the original title Under the Dome from September 2013 . In 2012 he turned back to comics. Together with the Canadian illustrator Fiona Staples, he created the science fiction series Saga for the independent publisher Image Comics , for which he again received prizes such as the Eisner Award and the Hugo Award Best Graphic Story for a story in drawn form, also in 2013 the British Fantasy Award for best comic.
