Ian Flynn, znany pod pseudonimem The BumbleKing – amerykański scenarzysta do komiksów, obecnie pracujący przy serii Sonic the Hedgehog, publikowanej przez IDW Publishing.
Przedtem był głównym scenarzystą serii Sonic the Hedgehog publikowanej przez Archie Comics. Swoją pracę rozpoczął w 2006 roku od Sonic the Hedgehog #160, a zakończył w 2017 wraz z anulowaniem serii komiksowej. Oprócz tego napisał scenariusz do dwóch odcinków serialu Sonic Boom i komiksów, encyklopedii oraz animacji powiązanych z grami. Jest również scenarzystą gier Sonic Origins i Sonic Frontiers.
Od 2015 Ian Flynn i jego przyjaciel, Kyle Crouse, wspólnie prowadzą podcast na platformie YouTube pod nazwą BumbleKast, w którym scenarzysta odpowiada na pytania od fanów na temat serii Sonic the Hedgehog i ujawnia informacje zza kulis.
Kariera[]
W Archie Sonic the Hedgehog #101 zobaczyć można list Iana Flynna, któremu Ken Penders udziela porad na temat pisania scenariuszy.
Pozycję scenarzysty w Archie Comics zdobył wysyłając dobrowolne propozycje, po długim okresie nieoficjalnego tworzenia komiksów o Sonicu. Od zatrudnienia w Archie Comics był aktywny w społeczności fanów, ale nawet wcześniej udzielał się na już nieistniejącej stronie TSIC (The Sonic Info Center). Stał się znany z fanowskiego komiksu pod nazwą Other M. W jego historiach duży nacisk kładzie się na ciągłość poprzednich wydarzeń i powracające postaci. Jednym z jego celów wydaje się być lepsze dopasowanie komiksów do gier Segi, zachowując przy tym dobrze znane, oryginalne elementy z materiału komiksowego.
