On June 23, 1989 (34 years ago today!) Tim Burton's Batman changed comic book-based movies forever. It was a bold, new vision of superheroes in mainstream media, and Bat-mania went wild. The tie-ins were widespread...including a comic adaptation of the movie! Yes, a movie based on a comic book ended up with a comic book based on the movie. That is the focus of this episode of Four Color Film. Join us as we talk to the legendary Michael Uslan and Jerry Ordway about the comic book adaptation of Batman 1989!

Alien the graphic novel based on Ridley Scott's sci-fi horror classic, was the first comic book to break into the New York Times best sellers list. Expertly written and drawn, it was an amazing interpretation of the film. In this episode, we delve into the creation of this book. We also talk to Walt Simonson, legendary writer and artist, about the experience of drawing the book. And we have some fun alien facts too!

As if 1992's Bram Stoker's Dracula wasn't weird enough, there was a comic book!

Or even more so!?! Join Dennis Calero, with his guests Steve Hoveke and Jim Salicrup as they claim their stake and discuss the comic book adaptation of BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA!
