''Cavewoman'' is an American alternative comic book created by writer-artist Budd Root, and published primarily by Basement Comics and additionally by Caliber Comics and Avatar Press. The story follows superhuman Meriem Cooper, a 19-year-old jungle woman who battles dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures in the Cretaceous period. Root credits the artist William Stout, as well as the ''Playboy'' cartoon feature ''Little Annie Fanny'', as his inspirations for the character. Artist Devon Massey has done much of the cover-art for the series. ==Publication history== Meriem Cooper first appeared in Basement Comics' ''Cavewoman'' #1 (Dec. 1993), the first issue of a black-and-white, miniseries that ran six issues. She reappeared in the popular eight-issue miniseries ''Cavewoman: Rain'' (1996–1997) from Caliber Comics, and ''Cavewoman: Odyssey'' #1 (1999), the only issue of a planned five-issue miniseries from Caliber Comics. She also appeared in the four-issue series ''Cavewoman: Missing Link'' (1997-1998), and the three part series ''Cavewoman: Jungle Tales'' (1998). During her early years Meriem also appeared in several one-shot comics, like ''Cavewoman Meets Explorers'' (1997), jointly from Basement Comics and Explorer Press; ''Jungle Tales of Cavewoman'' (1998), released in both a standard and a mature-audience edition; and ''Cavewoman: Color Special'' (1999), reprinting a story in the comic ''Threshold'' #7. After 2000, Meriem appeared in the ongoing series ''Cavewoman: Pangaean Sea''. After the events of ''Cavewoman: Rain'' the town of Marshville was destroyed, and Meriem and the inhabitants migrated to the shores of the Pangaean Sea. This was the last lengthy Cavewoman series to date, and by far the longest. The first comic ''Cavewoman: Pangaean Sea Prologue'' was first published in 1999, and the series lasted eleven issues from 2000 to 2009. Since 2001 Meriem has starred in the semi-regular mature series ''Prehistoric Pin-ups'', which lasted for five-issues until 2010; and ''Cavewoman: Meriem's Gallery'', a four-part series until 2009. She has also been in the semi-annual series ''Cavewoman: Cover Gallery'' (2002-2013), and the successful five-part ''Cavewoman: Reloaded'' (2005-2009), which was a reprint of ''Cavewoman #1–6'' with new content. ''Cavewoman'' celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2003. Meriem has also appeared in eight two-shot comics spanning the years between 2000 and 2012, the best known are ''Cavewoman: Raptor'' (2002), and ''Cavewoman: Jungle Jam'' (2006). She was also in thirteen single issue comics such as ''Klyde & Meriem'' (2001), ''Tanlines Pinup Book'' (2002), ''Cavewoman: The Movie'' (2003), ''Cavewoman: Beauties & Beasts'' (2005), ''Budd's Sketchbook of Sketchbook Sketches'' (2010), and ''Cavewoman: A Night Out'' (2010). In 2013-2014 ''Cavewoman'' celebrated its 20th anniversary with the two-part issues ''Cavewoman: Oasis'' (2013), and ''Cavewoman: Journey'' (2014). Basement Comics also released nine single issues featuring Meriem, including ''Cavewoman: Uncovered'' (2013), ''Cavewoman: The Many Faces of Meriem'' (2013), ''Cavewoman: Labyrinth'' (2013), ''Cavewoman: Killing Dinos 101'' (2014), and the much awaited ''Cavewoman: 20th Anniversary Show Book'' (2014). 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「Cavewoman」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
