''Torsobear'' is a graphic novel series authored and edited by creator Brett Uren, as well as numerous contributing writers and artist. The series is co-edited by Glenn Møane. Torsobear is an anthology format with a main story arc running alongside contributed stories. The series was devised by Brett Uren after the positive feedback he received from his experimental publication in the 2013 second volume of the ''Outré''〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://outrepress.com/ )〕 anthology. The main story of this noir parody focuses on Detective Ruxby Bear as he investigates the criminal goings on in the imaginary town of Toyburg. ==Volume 1: Yarns from Toyburg== The first volume was an experimental piece capitalising on the success of the original short story and included that work as the opening piece in the book. Uren invited contributors to pitch stories for the book which would run alongside his main theme in order to flesh out the world and provide a dramatic backstory to the environment in which these toys lived. The core of the book revolves around Ruxby Bear and his investigations into the recent Torsobear Killings. Over all there were 12 stories in this volume by a variety of contributors with cover art by Hal Laren. * Clean Heart Dirty Paws - Story and Art by Brett Uren * Dress To Impress - Story by Frank Martin, Art by Giles Crawford and Colours and Letters by Jon Scrivens * Rich Toy, Poor Toy - Story by Grainne McEntee, Art by Matt Rooke and Letters by Brett Uren * Some Assembly Required - Story by Cy Dethan, Art by Peter Mason and Letters by Nic Wilkinson * She Sang For Buttons, She Unstitched My Heart - Story and Art by Brett Uren, Colours by Harold Saxon and Letters by Mick Schubert * The Collector - Story by Glenn Moane, Art by Carlos Nick Zamudio, Colours by Brian Traynor and Letters by Jon Scrivens * A New Hopelessness - Story and Art by Kieran Squires and Colours by Faye Harmon * The Big Wind Up - Story by Janos Honkonen, Art by Saoirse Louise Towler and Letters by Mick Schubert * Home Invasion - Story by Brockton McKinney and Brett Uren, Art by Brett Uren and Colours by Harold Saxon * Sour In The Sweet - Story by Jake Young, Art by Randy Handleman, Colours by Brett Uren and Letters by Shawn Aldridge * Blockheads - Story and Art by John Scrivens * We All Fall Down, Playing It The Hard Way - Story and Art by Brett Uren Uren successfully ran a Kickstarter campaign to fund the project in July 2014 and print copies of the book were made available for purchase. Uren intended to release a digital version of the book through Comixology's Submit series but ran into copyright problems with Comixology's legal department, specifically around the ''A New Hopelessness'' story which focussed on cheap imitation toys and their place in the toy world. Comixology believed that the main protagonists bore too close a resemblance to characters owned by Disney, Lucasfilm and Marvel. Uren was required to edit the art in order to allow the work to be published. Volume 1 went live on Comixology in April 2015. 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「Torsobear」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
