Comics from Movies

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008 – running time 29:37

Big superhero movies are not the only comic book properties out. This week, iFanboy takes a look at some of the great comics that have been made into films.

We just experienced the summer of the action packed superhero movie, but making films from comics has been going on for a while now. What's more, many people didn't even know the movies were spawned from comics. In this episode, Josh, Ron, and Conor show you some of the comic book work behind the feature films.

Whiteout isn't quite out yet, but that doesn't mean that you can't check out the excellent comic it was adapted from, by Greg Rucka and Steve Lieber.

The Crow was a huge film based on a huge indie comic of the same name.

American Splendor was an amazing movie based on the collective work of the legendary Harvey Pekar, as well as artists like R. Crumb.

Ghost World is a cult film from a cult comic. While the tone is the same, there are completely different stories from the movie, so you can have more!

One big budget picture from a small budget graphic novel was Road to Perdition.

Finally, the movie A History of Violence started off like like the graphic novel, but the story ended up quite different.
