Edited sentence: Brubaker has defended himself against criticism of this aspect of his work by stating that the emergence of an unrevealed "secret from the past" is "one of the main tropes of all mystery and suspense fiction, as well as one of the oldest stories in the world - just look at Oedipus, for example".Brubaker is best known for his work as a comic book writer on such titles as Batman, Daredevil,  Captain America, Iron Fist, Catwoman, Gotham Central, Sleeper, Uncanny X-Men, and The Authority, and for helping to revive the crime comics genre.Ed Brubaker (born November 17, 1966) is an Eisner Award-winning American cartoonist and  writer.Examples of this include the return of Holly in Catwoman, the return of Bucky in Captain America, and the introduction of the character Vulcan in X-Men: Deadly Genesis.He frequently collaborates with artists Michael Lark, Sean Phillips and Steve Epting.He was born at the National Naval Medical Center, Bethesda, Maryland.His initial super-hero comics work tended to incorporate some aspects of the crime genre - examples of this include Batman (detective stories), Catwoman (whose star is a cat burglar) and Sleeper (which featured a protagonist who goes undercover as a super-powered criminal).However, he has also worked on more mainstream super-hero series for Marvel, such as Captain America (which features elements of the espionage genre of fiction), Iron Fist (pulp and kung fu) and Uncanny X-Men.This has continued with his work at Marvel Comics, such as Daredevil (the first issues of his run are largely set in a prison) and Criminal.When working on licensed characters with extensive established histories at both Marvel and DC, Brubaker has consistently changed aspects of those characters' back-stories
