Beasts of Burden is a comic book series created by writer Evan Dorkin and artist Jill Thompson, and published by Dark Horse Comics. The title centers on an eponymous team of intelligent animals that investigate different paranormal events that occur in their small neighborhood of Burden Hill. The group consists of five dogs named Ace, Rex, Jack, Whitey, and Pugsley, and a cat named Orphan (later they are joined by another cat named Dymphna, a former witch's familiar). The group is often seen consulting with "Wise Dogs", local shaman-like elders of their community.〔Dorkin, Evan and Jill Thompson. "Beasts of Burden: Animal Rites". Dark Horse Books, 2010.〕 The characters made their first appearance in a story titled ''Stray'' (written by Evan Dorkin with art by Jill Thompson) in ''The Dark Horse Book of Hauntings''. They made subsequent appearances in ''The Dark Horse Book of Witchcraft'', ''The Dark Horse Book of The Dead'', and ''The Dark Horse Book of Monsters''. Dorkin stated that he came up with the concept after being asked by Dark Horse editor Scott Allie to write a story for the horror anthology ''The Dark Horse Book of Hauntings''.〔Dorkin, Evan and Jill Thompson. "Beasts of Burden: Animal Rites". Dark Horse Books, 2010, p.169.〕 In 2009 the characters appeared in their own 4-issue mini-series. In 2010 the characters appeared alongside Hellboy in a one-shot issue titled ''Hellboy/Beasts of Burden: Sacrifice''. In 2011, three new ''Beasts of Burden'' stories appeared in the fourth, sixth and eighth issues of the relaunched Dark Horse Presents series, all of which were later reprinted in the ''Beasts of Burden: Neighborhood Watch'' one-shot. ==Bibliography== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Beasts of Burden」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
