:''This article is about the graphic novel; see sea star for the species of sea star.'' ''Bloodstar'' is possibly the first graphic novel to call itself a “graphic novel” in print (in its introduction and dust jacket). Based on a short story by Robert E. Howard, the creator of Conan the Barbarian, and illustrated by fantasy art master 〔Sackmann, Eckart (1987). Great Masters of Fantasy Art. Parkwest Pubns. ISBN 3-89268-008-6.〕〔Garriock, P. R. (1978). Masters of Comic Book Art. Aurum Press, Ltd.. ISBN 0-905664-05-1.〕 Richard Corben the book was published by The Morning Star Press in a limited signed and numbered edition. ==Status as first self-described graphic novel== The front flap of its dust jacket reads: "BLOODSTAR is a new, revolutionary concept — a graphic novel, which combines all the imagination and visual power of comic strip art with the richness of the traditional novel."〔Corben, Richard (1976). ''Bloodstar''. The Morning Star Press Ltd.〕 Two other books published the same year (1976) also called themselves graphic novels, but one is a reprint collection of a serialized underground comic (George Metzger's "Beyond Time and Again") and the other is really an illustrated novel (Jim Steranko’s ''Chandler: Red Tide'') Unlike "Beyond Time and Again", ''Bloodstar'' is a long story that had not been previously published episodically. It was first printed as a luxury hardcover edition and subsequently reprinted in several trade paperback editions. 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「Bloodstar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
