Edgar Allan Poe has appeared in popular culture as a character in books, comics, film, and other media. Besides his works, the legend of Poe himself has fascinated people for generations. His appearances in popular culture often envision him as a sort of "mad genius" or "tormented artist," exploiting his personal struggles.〔Neimeyer, Mark. "Poe and Popular Culture," collected in ''The Cambridge Companion to Edgar Allan Poe''. Cambridge University Press, 2002. ISBN 0-521-79727-6 p. 209〕 Many depictions of Poe interweave with his works, in part due to Poe's frequent use of first-person narrators, suggesting an assumption that Poe and his characters are identical.〔Gargano, James W. "The Question of Poe's Narrators," collected in ''Poe: A Collection of Critical Essays'', edited by Robert Regan. Englewood Cliffs, NJ: Prentice-Hall, Inc., 1967. p. 165〕 This article focuses specifically on the historical Edgar Allan Poe making appearances in fiction, television, and film. ==Comics== * "The Baltimore Mystery", a ''Phantom'' comic detailing a fictional explanation of Poe's death, and the Phantom's role in his last days. * ''Batman: Nevermore'' (2003) is an Elseworlds mini-series from DC Comics written by Len Wein, with art by Guy Davis. In the story Batman teams up with Poe to solve a number of murders.〔(Review of ''Batman: Nevermore'' issue #1 ), (#2 ), (#3 ), (#4 ) and (#5 )〕 * ''In the Shadow of Edgar Allan Poe'' (2002) by Jonathon Scott Fuqua follows a professor who has discovered the last diary of Poe, allegedly written on the author's deathbed. The diary reveals that Poe's artistic inspiration came from selling his soul to demons. As part of the deal, Poe can only write while in Baltimore; his attempts to leave that city have dire consequences. The graphic novel from Vertigo Comics is illustrated using digital illustrations and photography by Steven Park and Stephen John Phillips, respectively.〔(DC's profile for the hardcover edition of ''In the Shadow of Edgar Allan Poe'' ) (with preview) and (the paperback one )〕 * ''The Surreal Adventures of Edgar Allan Poo'' (sic) by Dwight MacPherson, is a webcomic〔(The Chemistry Set » SURREAL ADVENTURES OF EDGAR ALLEN POO, Chapter 1, Canto 1 )〕 originally published on DrunkDuck, which was collected into a trade paperback by ShadowLine. It follows Poe's adventures after he accidentally gets flushed down an outhouse.〔(Dwight MacPherson on ''The Surreal Adventures of Edgar Allan Poo'' ), Newsarama, July 10, 2007〕 * In the Italian comic book ''Zagor'', Poe is an agent of the American secret service called "Elsewhere", with a codename "Raven". * Jill Thompson's graphic novel ''Death: At Death's Door'' includes Poe as a guest in Death's house as Lucifer evicts the citizens of Hell. He is shown, comically, to be in love with Death's sister Despair, who serves as his muse in the book. 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「Edgar Allan Poe in popular culture」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
