Film and Comic Books contributors analyze the problems of adapting one medium to another; the translation of comics aesthetics into film; audience expectations, reception, and reaction to comic book-based films; and the adaptation of films into comics.
A wide range of comic/film adaptations are explored, including superheroes (
Spider-Man), comic strips (
Dick Tracy), realist and autobiographical comics (
American Splendor;
Ghost World), and photo-montage comics (Mexico’s
El Santo).
Essayists discuss films beginning with the 1978
Superman. That success led filmmakers to adapt a multitude of comic books for the screen including Marvel’s
Uncanny X-Men, the
Amazing Spider-Man,
Blade, and the
Incredible Hulk as well as alternative graphic novels such as
From Hell,
V for Vendetta, and
Road to Perdition.
Essayists also discuss recent works from Mexico, France, Germany, and Malaysia.
