Brian Michael Bendis is an American comic book writer and erstwhile artist. He is best known for his prolific work as writer on Marvel Comics series such as Ultimate Spider-Man, Daredevil, Alias, The Pulse, and the creator-owned Powers, which was originally published by Image Comics before moving to Marvel in 2004.
Along with Scottish writer Mark Millar and Marvel's then-publisher Bill Jemas he is largely responsible for creating the Ultimate Marvel imprint, which reinvents Marvel's library of characters for a new audience without the associated baggage of decades of continuity and history.
Before starting work with Marvel in the late 1990s, Bendis both wrote and drew much of his work for small publishers. This work includes Fire, Goldfish and Jinx.
He is currently writing a screenplay for a Jinx movie which is set to star Charlize Theron.
