Comic Films

Since the very earliest forays into cinema there has been a vast appetite for the comic strips and comic books of the day to be adapted onto the big screen. This page seeks to list all of these films which would be suitable for Cinemageddon.

There are a lot of films which are 'inspired' by comics but to keep this page to a manageable size it only lists films which conform to these rules:

1. I believe them to be 'safe' to post on Cinemageddon. (Please note that films listed here may not be safe, if you are unsure then check on the forum before posting)
2. The film must be officially licensed from a non-Asian comic or comic strip or character(s) created within one.
   • This does not include cases where the character in question was created in a comic licensed from another medium such as films, tv, radio or toys.
   • This does not include illustrated children's books, unless they are laid out using comic panels.
   • This does not include feature-length episodes of TV series, movies made of cut-together TV episodes or feature-length pilots which were developed into TV shows.

Before the rise in TV's popularity, it wasn't uncommon for a film character to star in dozens of films. Of these film series, at least four were based on comic characters:

Sometimes filmmakers like these comics so much they just go ahead and make a film based on a comic without any kind of permission or licensing from the owners.

I haven't included movies made from cut-together TV episodes,specials or successful pilots, but here's a list of the ones up here at CG.

Here is a list of comic-based requests here at CG, so you can keep track of the films you are interested in but aren't available here yet.
