Deadman (Boston Brand) is a fictional character, a comic book superhero in the DC Comics universe. He first appeared in ''Strange Adventures'' #205 (October 1967), and was created by Arnold Drake and Carmine Infantino. ==Publication history== Deadman's first appearance in ''Strange Adventures'' #205, written by Arnold Drake and drawn by Carmine Infantino, included the first known depiction of narcotics in a story approved by the Comics Code Authority. The series is most associated with the art and writing of Neal Adams and the writing of Jack Miller, who took over from Infantino and Drake after the first story.〔 The first story and all of the Adams stories were reprinted in 1985 as a seven-issue series. Although he appeared from time to time in the 1970s and 1980s as a supporting character in various comics, including Jack Kirby's ''Forever People'', Deadman did not get his own series again until 1986, in a four-issue limited series written by Andrew Helfer and drawn by José Luis García-López, which picked up the story where Adams left off. Deadman's next major storyline was in ''Action Comics Weekly'', in 1988-1989. After this, he starred in the two-issue series ''Deadman: Love After Death'', drawn by Kelley Jones and written by Mike Baron. This was followed by the limited series ''Deadman: Exorcism'' in 1992, also written by Mike Baron and drawn by Kelley Jones. Jones' gaunt, zombie-like rendition of the character would later appear in the pages of Batman. There was a Deadman ongoing series in 2002, which lasted nine issues, as well as a couple of standalone issues. His cameo appearances also continued, including several issues of Alan Moore's run on ''Swamp Thing'', and Neil Gaiman's ''The Books of Magic''. He had a cameo in books two and three of ''Batman: Gotham County Line'', which was released in November 2005. In 2009, Deadman was a featured title in the Wednesday Comics. The character and self-titled series have won several awards, including the 1967 Alley Award for Best New Strip (by Arnold Drake and Carmine Infantino in Strange Adventures), and the 1968 Alley Award Hall of Fame (for Neal Adams). DC Comics published a slipcased hardcover edition collecting the original Deadman stories in December 2001. The presence of Deadman is strongly implied in a brief interaction between Batman and I Ching in ''The Resurrection of Ra's al Ghul'' (hc, 256 pages, 2008, ISBN 1-4012-1785-0; tpb, 2009, ISBN 1-4012-2032-0) though he is not mentioned by name. Deadman's retconned origin is revealed in ''Brightest Day'' #14 (2010), written by Geoff Johns and Peter Tomasi. 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「Deadman」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
