''Tex Arcana'' is a graphic serial that appeared in ''Heavy Metal'' beginning with the March 1981 issue and continuing intermittently through 1985. It was written and drawn by John Findley. Initially, the series was conceived as an adult-oriented parody of horror and Old West genres, combining standard vampire, werewolf (or, in this case, "werecoyote"), and goblin characters with classic Western themes, using a format loosely based on the EC Comics horror publications of the 1950s. It strove toward a goal of combining humor with genuine horror. ==Plot== The story is about the town of Hangman's Corners, its eccentric population and the peculiar and somewhat terrifying complications visited upon them by a variety of beings. Each episode was introduced by the deceased "Old Claim Jumper". The series is divided into three arcs. The first arc is about a vampire who seeks help from Beyond in the course of combating the disgruntled townsfolk. Due to his own incompetence, he accidentally conjures up two benevolent demons who become central characters throughout the rest of the series. The second arc concerns a rancher and the grisly fate of his chickens. The third, and longest, arc tells of a world-famous violinist who visits the town, bringing with him a hideous secret. 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「Tex Arcana」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
