Hollywood has always looked to a wide range of source material to inspire their new projects. One of the greatest sources of good storytelling in cinema is comic books, and that has never been more true. However, fans often forget when a movie – or TV series – took its inspiration from comics. There are many reasons this can occur, namely the presumption that comics are strictly the domain of superheroes.
Understandably, while fans are quick to spot superhero movies’ links to comics, it can be harder to draw that link in other genres. However, many of the greatest comic book movies of all time have nothing to do with superheroes or powers. In fact, many of them are much more grounded, some even based on real history. Comics will always be a great source of inspiration – and those original books deserve recognition.
