Digger (Roderick Krupp) is a fictional comic book character in the Marvel Comics universe. He first appeared as a story narrator/host in the horror anthology series ''Tower of Shadows'' #1 (Sept. 1969), in the story "At the Stroke of Midnight" by writer-artist Jim Steranko. ==Publication history== Originally designed as one of the hosts of ''Tower of Shadows'' and its sister title, ''Chamber of Darkness'', both beginning in 1969, Digger played a role similar to that of ''Tales from the Crypt's'' Crypt Keeper of the 1950s EC Comics and later HBO television series.〔Janson, Tim (Mania Comics: "Comic Review: ''Dead of Night Featuring Man-Thing'' #1 )〕 Providing a panel or two of introductory material leading into and usually closing the story itself, Digger appeared sporadically through the nine-issue run of ''Tower of Shadows'' and the eight-issue run of ''Chamber of Darkness''. Digger was worked into Marvel's main shared universe, the Marvel Universe in 1987, returning with other lesser-known characters in ''Captain America'' #329 (May 1987). He appeared with these other characters as a member of the team the Night Shift, supervillain antagonists who were then primarily used in the series ''Avengers West Coast'' during the 1990s. Digger appeared as part of the "Night Shift" entry in the ''Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Update '89'' #5. After a long period in which the character had no appearances, a new version of Digger appeared in 2008. Returning to his roots, he was used as the narrator for ''Dead of Night Featuring Man-Thing'', a four issue limited series published by Marvel as a part of its mature content MAX imprint. In this series Digger tells his version of the Man-Thing's origin as well as three other semi-connected tales starring the Man-Thing and other characters related to that protagonist. These Digger sequences in the comic series were painted by artist, Nick Percival. In 2009, the Marvel Universe version of Digger appeared in ''Marvel Zombies 4''. This series also featured the character's (very temporary) death and undead resurrection. 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「Digger (comics)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
