Now, more than ever, the fantastic stories, characters and concepts that came into existence in the pages of comic books are making the transition to TV and movie screens. What fandom has known for decades, is that comic books can, and in many cases are, great literature.
Hollywood has for over a century adapted great prose works into great film adaptations. And they still do to this day. Except the bestsellers-turned-movies now have some very strong (and heroic) competition!
In honor of our Panel to Screen theme this month, we recommend trying out these great graphic novels and collections, which all went on to serve as the basis for popular films, TV shows and cartoons. And look for our Panel to Screen icon throughout the August PREVIEWS for more great titles!

(W) James O'Barr (A/CA) James O'Barr
When James O'Barr poured the pain and anguish of a personal tragedy into the drawings that comprise The Crow, his intensely cathartic story of Eric-who returns from the dead to avenge his and his fiancée's murder at the hands of a street gang-resonated with readers around the world. The illustrated tale that became the silver screen triumph was then presented in 2011 as an acclaimed expanded edition, reflecting the vision of the author's original intention, complete at last with thirty pages of additional artwork, an introduction by James O'Barr, and lost sequences restored using the artist's original technique.
