1st printing. By Liam Burke. In the summer of 2000 X-Men surpassed all box office expectations and ushered in an era of comic book film adaptations. This trend, now in its second decade, has blossomed into Hollywood's leading genre. From superheroes to Spartan warriors, The Comic Book Film Adaptation offers the first dedicated study to examine how comic books moved from the fringes of popular culture to the center of mainstream film production. The Comic Book Film Adaptation explores this unique moment in which cinema is stimulated, challenged, and enriched by the once-dismissed medium of comics. Hardcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 352 pages, B&W. Cover price $60.00.
