Ed Brubaker is an American comics writer who has plied his trade at both DC Comics and Marvel Comics, but ascended to superstar status at the latter. He got his start writing independent crime comics in the 1990s (earning an Eisner nomination for his debut in 1993, and more in 1999), before taking up in the [[Batman|Bat-books]] are DC around the turn of the Millennium. This notably included the launch of a new ''Catwoman'' title, and the acclaimed ''[[Gotham Central]]'' series focussing of the Gotham Police co-written with [[Greg Rucka]]. Around the same time, his work on DC's Wildstorm included the acclaimed ''[[Sleeper (Comic Book)|Sleeper]]'' and twelve issues on ''[[The Authority]]''.
In 2005, he migrated over to Marvel Comics to write ''[[Captain America (comics)]]'', beginning a landmark run that has been hailed as the best ever on the title. Subsequent acclaimed work has included a stint on ''[[Daredevil]]'', reviving ''[[Immortal Iron Fist]]'' with [[Matt Fraction]], and the launch of the creator-owned books ''[[Criminal]]'' and ''[[Incognito]]''. His time on [[X-Men]] was not as well-received. He has won the Best Writer Eisner Award three times (the third-most wins of any writer, behind [[Alan Moore]] and [[Neil Gaiman]]).
