Doctor Druid, also known as Doctor Droom and Druid, is a fictional character, a supernatural monster-hunter in the Marvel Comics universe. Co-created by writer-editor Stan Lee and penciller Jack Kirby, he starred in his own continuing feature that debuted in ''Amazing Adventures'' #1 (June 1961), predating Lee & Kirby's milestone creation ''The Fantastic Four'' #1 (Nov. 1961). ==Publication history== In his earliest five appearances, in ''Amazing Adventures'' #1–4 & #6 (June–Sept. & Nov. 1961), the character was called Doctor Droom. The first strip was drawn by Jack Kirby and inked by Steve Ditko, two of Marvel's most prominent artists. More a monster-story appendage than a serious attempt at creating a three-dimensional character in the manner of Ditko's upcoming Spider-Man or Kirby's Fantastic Four, Doctor Droom vanished into obscurity for years after the series was re-titled and reformatted as ''Amazing Adult Fantasy'' with #7 (eventually the magazine was retitled ''Amazing Fantasy'' with issue #15). He resurfaced in the 1970s as a guest character in ''The Incredible Hulk'', where he was re-titled Doctor Druid to avoid confusion with the far more recognizable Doctor Doom. Doctor Druid also appeared in ''Ghost Rider'' (1973 1st Series) #26 (Oct. 1977) when he attacked Johnny Blaze, mistakenly thinking the Ghost Rider was evil. In the 1990s he appeared in ''Quasar'' #23–25, 28, 38, 45–46, 50–51, ''Captain America'' #402–409 and ''Secret Defenders'' #15–24. He starred in the miniseries ''Druid'' #1–4 (May–Aug. 1995), by writer Warren Ellis and artist Leonardo Manco, and co-starred with Ulysses Bloodstone and others in the flashback title ''Marvel Universe'' #4–7 (Sept.–Dec. 1998). There he was retconned as a member of the group the Monster Hunters, whose adventures took place between the "Age of Monsters" and the "Age of Heroes". This theme would be picked up with his appearance in issue #2 of a subsequent flashback title, ''Marvel: The Lost Generation''. Doctor Druid was one of the feature characters in the 2011 three-issue limited series ''Chaos War: Dead Avengers''. Doctor Druid appears briefly in ''Secret Avengers'' #20 (Feb. 2012), written again by Ellis, drawn by Alex Maleev. 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「Doctor Druid」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
