Funnybooks on Broadway – One More

More people have written me about comic books based on Broadway plays…and actually, except for Warp, I think what we're talking about is comic books based on movies that were based on Broadway plays. A number of folks mentioned Annie to me…another one of which I didn't think. In this case, we have a comic book based on a movie based on a stage musical based on a comic strip.

When the movie based on the Broadway musical was coming out in 1982, Marvel got the rights and had writer Tom DeFalco and artists Winslow Mortimer and Vince Colletta whip up an adaptation in comic book form and then they printed it in three formats: As a tabloid-sized comic and as two issues of a regular-sized comic.

I've received a number of other examples of comic books based on movies based on non-musical plays like No Time for Sergeants but I think we've taken this topic as far as it's worth. Thanks to all who sent in suggestions.
