As of early 2014, ''Witch Doctor'' consists of a four-issue mini-series, an issue #0 printed as a flipbook with ''The Walking Dead'' #85, a one-shot subtitled ''Witch Doctor: The Resuscitation'', and a second six-issue mini-series entitled ''Witch Doctor: Mal Practice'', which debuted in November 2012. The first mini-series and #0 issue were reprinted in a collected edition called ''Witch Doctor Vol. 1: Under the Knife'', while the second mini-series and ''The Resuscitation'' are scheduled to be collected as ''Witch Doctor Vol. 2: Mal Practice'' in June 2013. A first issue was printed in July 2010, Black and White, with title "First Incision - Interview with the tapeworm", the flipbook with ''The Walking Dead'' #85 is the same, but coloured. == Description == ''Witch Doctor'' combines elements of the horror and medical drama genres. The protagonist, Dr. Vincent Morrow, is a maverick doctor who specializes in "supernatural medicine," supplementing common medical practices with magic. Dr. Morrow's "cases" predominantly involve infectious supernatural creatures like vampires, demonic possession, as well as elements based on the cosmic horror of H.P. Lovecraft. In the first ''Witch Doctor'' mini-series, Dr. Morrow treats (and battles) a vampire, demons possessing a child, faerie changelings, and Deep Ones (crossed with the Creature From the Black Lagoon), among others. Dr. Morrow is assisted by Eric Gast, a paramedic who is apparently new to the world of the supernatural, and "Penny Dreadful," a college student who seems to be infected and controlled by a supernatural creature of some sort. While Dr. Morrow demonstrates the knowledge of a practicing medical doctor, his equipment and diagnoses are almost totally supernatural. He wields Excalibur, owns the Holy Grail (used predominantly as an IV or a syringe) and many other magical artifacts. Spellcraft is provided mostly by these artifacts, as well as pills and intravenous infusions (for example, Morrow swallows a "sleeping pill" in order to cast a spell to put a patient to sleep). 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「Witch Doctor (comics)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
