"Since the first Superman film came to the screen in 1978, films adapted from comics have become increasingly important as a film form. M. Keith Booker surveys this development in film history, tracking the movement to a more mature style in comics, and then a more mature style in films about comics. He focuses on detailed discussions of 15 major films of franchises, but also considers the general impact of graphic novels on the style and content of American film in general." |
