Samson is a fictional superhero that appeared in comic books published by Fox Feature Syndicate. He first appeared in ''Fantastic Comics'' #1 (Dec. 1939). The writer was uncredited, but is believed to be Will Eisner; the artist was Alex Blum, using the pseudonym "Alex Boon".〔 *(Don Markstein's: Samson )〕 ==Publication history== After appearing in ''Fantastic Comics'' in 1939, Samson was given his own title in the fall of 1940. He simultaneously appeared in ''Big 3'' comics, along with the Flame and the Blue Beetle. Samson's origin story was revealed in ''Samson'' comics #1. ''Fantastic Comics'' ceased publication in November 1941 with issue #23. After six issues, ''Samson'' comics was changed to ''Captain Aero'' (September, 1941) and Samson no longer had his own title. Finally, Samson was replaced in ''Big 3'' comics in issue #7 (Jan. 1942; this issue proved to be last) by the patriotic hero V-Man. A short-lived revival appeared in 1955 from another publisher, Ajax-Farrell. Samson is among the public domain characters Image Comics revived in a new anthology title, ''The Next Issue Project'', which premiered in December 2007.〔(''Comic Book Resources'' (July 20, 2007): "The Golden Age is Back in 'The Next Issue Project'", by Jonah Weiland )〕 Another version of the character is slated to appear in the October issue of ''Savage Dragon''. ''Project Superpowers'', a similar golden-age revival project from Alex Ross and Dynamite Entertainment also announced in 2007,〔(''Newsarama'' (July 24, 2007): "SUPERPOWERS PREVIEW BOOK ", by Matt Brady )〕 also features a character that is ostensibly the Fox Features Samson, though the visual design seems to have been inspired by the Gold Key Comics character. 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「Samson (Fox Feature Syndicate)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
