Bachelor Thesis from the year 2015 in the subject Literature - Modern Literature, grade: 1,0, University of Cologne (Englisches Seminar), language: English, abstract: Filmic comic book adaptations are not a new phenomenon, but throughout the last decades the amount of productions based on comic book material has highly increased. While some theoreticians note that both media share aesthetic qualities and formal properties that predestine comics for filmic adaptations, critics consider comics to be inherently unfilmable due to structural differences. This thesis examines how recent films have tried to adapt the visual and structural features characteristic to comic books and how those adaptation techniques have explored the limitations of both media. Robert Rodriguez film "Sin City" (2005) will serve as the primary point of reference. Thus, this paper will try to answer the question to what extent film is able to make comic books “come alive” and to what extent it is incompatible to do so. Filmische Adaptionen von Comics sind kein neuartiges Phänomen, nichtsdestotrotz haben sie in den letzten Jahrzehnten zugenommen. Viele Theoretiker merken an, dass Film und Comics entscheidende ästhetische Qualitäten und formale Aspekte teilen, die das Medium Film geradezu prädestinieren, Comics in Bewegtbild zu verwandeln. Kritiker entgegnen, dass Comics naturgemäß unverfilmbar sind. Grund seien strukturelle Unterschiede beider Medien. Diese Bachelorarbeit geht der Frage nach, wie zeitgenössische Filme versucht haben, neben Handlung und Figuren besonders die visuellen und strukturellen Eigenschafen des Comics zu adaptieren, und wie die dabei verwendeten Techniken die Grenzen beider Medien aufgezeigt haben. Robert Rodriguez Film "Sin City" (2005) wird dabei den primären Bezugspunkt darstellen. In der Folge soll sich die Frage beantworten lassen, in welcher Weise das Medium Film Comics "zum Leben erwecken" kann und wo es in dieser Prämisse versagt.

In Film and Comic Books contributors analyze the problems of adapting one medium to another; the translation of comics aesthetics into film; audience expectations, reception, and reaction to comic book-based films; and the adaptation of films into comics. A wide range of comic/film adaptations are explored, including superheroes (Spider-Man), comic strips (Dick Tracy), realist and autobiographical comics (American Splendor, Ghost World), and photo-montage comics (Mexico's El Santo). Essayists discuss films beginning with the 1978 Superman. That success led filmmakers to adapt a multitude of comic books for the screen including Marvel's Uncanny X-Men, the Amazing Spider-Man, Blade, and the Incredible Hulk as well as alternative graphic novels such as From Hell, V for Vendetta, and Road to Perdition. Essayists also discuss recent works from Mexico, France, Germany, and Malaysia. Essays from Timothy P. Barnard, Michael Cohen, Rayna Denison, Martin Flanagan, Sophie Geoffroy-Menoux, Mel Gibson, Kerry Gough, Jonathan Gray, Craig Hight, Derek Johnson, Pascal Lef?vre, Paul M. Malone, Neil Rae, Aldo J. Regalado, Jan van der Putten, and David Wilt Ian Gordon is associate professor of history and convenor of American studies at the National University of Singapore.

In the summer of 2000 X-Men surpassed all box office expectations and ushered in an era of unprecedented production 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. Through in-depth analysis, industry interviews, and audience research, this book charts the cause-and-effect of this influential trend. It considers the cultural traumas, business demands, and digital possibilities that Hollywood faced at the dawn of the twenty-first century. The industry managed to meet these challenges by exploiting comics and their existing audiences. However, studios were caught off-guard when these comic book fans, empowered by digital media, began to influence the success of these adaptations. Nonetheless, filmmakers soon developed strategies to take advantage of this intense fanbase, while codifying the trend into a more lucrative genre, the comic book movie, which appealed to an even wider audience. Central to this vibrant trend is a comic aesthetic in which filmmakers utilize digital filmmaking technologies to engage with the language and conventions of comics like never before. The Comic Book Film Adaptation explores this unique moment in which cinema is stimulated, challenged, and enriched by the once-dismissed medium of comics.

It is hard to discuss the current film industry without acknowledging the impact of comic book adaptations, especially considering the blockbuster success of recent superhero movies. Yet transmedial adaptations are part of an evolution that can be traced to the turn of the last century, when comic strips such as “Little Nemo in Slumberland” and “Felix the Cat” were animated for the silver screen. Representing diverse academic fields, including technoculture, film studies, theater, feminist studies, popular culture, and queer studies, Comics and Pop Culture presents more than a dozen perspectives on this rich history and the effects of such adaptations. Examining current debates and the questions raised by comics adaptations, including those around authorship, style, and textual fidelity, the contributors consider the topic from an array of approaches that take into account representations of sexuality, gender, and race as well as concepts of world-building and cultural appropriation in comics from Modesty Blaise to Black Panther. The result is a fascinating re-imagination of the texts that continue to push the boundaries of panel, frame, and popular culture.
