It was a genius idea, one which may have just been ahead of its time – taking the movies to the comics. In the 40s and 50s is was tried by a number of publishers. Later, when it was applied to popular TV shows – perhaps with a more loyal, long-standing audience – it took off. In the meantime, though not long-lived, Fiction House's MOVIE COMICS (#1-4; 1946-1947) presented some of the top films and stars of Holly wood adapted for comics, and features drawn by some of the top comic illustrators of the day include Bob Lubbers and Matt Baker! Can you imagine if they decided decades later to do comic adaptations of iconic films like Star Wars? Wait... they did? See, this series WAS ahead of its time!
