Title: COMIC BOOK MOVIES
Description: "Modern special effects have made large-scale superhero epics possible, but the diversity of the comics being published has made for a wide variety of subjects, as evidenced by Ghost World, From Hell, Akira and Road to Perdition. Comic Book Movies looks at twenty key titles in detail, covering every stage of the journey from comic book panel to feature film frame, including development, production, sequels and spin-offs. From the huge success of the Superman and Batman franchises, to misfires such as Mystery Men and Dick Tracy and current speculation about future films, the book includes interviews with key creative artists about the development of the movies from the original comics." "The first book on this subject, Comic Book Movies is the ultimate guide to one of the most varied and exciting film genres."--BOOK JACKET.
