Джейсон Аарон (англ.Jason Aaron; нар.28 січня1973, Джаспер)[4] — американський автор коміксів, відомий своєю роботою над серіями коміксів «Thor», «The Other Side», «Scalped», «Ghost Rider», «Wolverine» та «PunisherMAX».
Раннє життя
Джейсон Аарон народився в Джаспері, штат Алабама[5][6][7]. Джейсон захоплювався своїм братом Ґуставом Гасфордом, автором напівавтобіографічного роману «The Short-Timers» (1979), за яким базувався художній фільм «Суцільнометалева оболонка» (1987). Аарон ще в дитинстві вирішив, що хоче писати комікси. Його батько скептично ставився до цього захоплення[8].
Кар'єра Джейсона Аарона розпочалась у 2001 році, коли він переміг у конкурсі Marvel Comics (пошук талантів) за допомогою свого сценарію коміксу про Росомаху на вісім сторінок. Його історія була опублікована у коміксі «Wolverine» #175 (червень 2002)[8].
У 2006 році Аарон опублікував свою першу велику роботу через видавництво Vertigo. Це був комікс про війну у В'єтнамі«The Other Side»[8], яка була номінована на Eisner Award[10]. Подальша співпраця Джейсона Аарона і Vertigo призвела до появи серії коміксів «Scalped»[11].
У 2007 році Аарон повернувся до персонажа Росомахи з серією «Wolverine: Weapon X». У 2010 році серія була знову запущена, але вже як просто «Wolverine»[17]. 2011 рік ознаменувався для автора початком роботи над серією коміксів «The Incredible Hulk»[18], а 2012 — над «Thor: God of Thunder»[19] Джейсон Аарон та художник Майк Деодато співпрацювали над обмеженою серією «Original Sin» у 2014 році[20].
Починаючи з 2017 року, Аарон писав комікси для Marvel Comics зі всесвіту «Star Wars», сюжет якого, відбувався між «Зоряні війни: Нова надія» та «Зоряні війни: Імперія завдає удару у відповідь», а також продовжував свою роботу над «Thor», «Doctor Strange», та серією «Southern Bastards» з художником Джейсоном Латуром та «The Goddamned» з Р. М. Гуєрою для видавництва Image. У 2018 році він перезапустив серію «Thor» разом з Майком дель Мундо[21] та «The Avengers» з Едом Макгіннесом[22]. Аарон та Махмуд А. Асрар працювали над серією «Conan the Barbarian», коли Marvel Comics повернула собі ліцензійні права на персонажа у 2019 році[23].
Джейсон Аарон пристрасний поціновувач футболу. Він є фанатом футбольної команди Alabama Crimson Tide[25].
Тема релігії у творчості Джейсона Аарона не на останньому місті. Коментуючи релігійні теми, що проходять через його творчість, Аарон каже, що був вихований південним баптистом, але з того часу відмовився від релігії[26].
