Pulp Rip-offs in Comics

[alschroeder3]

Got a question: I know of at least three times where comic writers directly ripped off a pulp story: PARTNERS IN PERIL, a Shadow story became "The Case of the Chemical Syndiate", the first Batman story. SATAN'S MURDER MACHINES, a Spider story became "The Bandit Raiders of Metropolis" in the Superman Sunday comic strip. Doc Savage's HE COULD STOP THE WORLD got converted into the first story in Superman #8. Anybody know of any others?

Batman Lost

"That's the only moment of chance in all of Bruce's formation beyond his parents being killed. You know? Everything else is his deliberate training. It's the one thing that comes in and is circumstantial and prophetic, and like an omen. So it's the one thing you could dig at and say - the one thing you risk kind of just taking a sign from the universe. What if the universe is tricking you the whole time?" - Scott Snyder

"The comics will be based on four finished scripts that were written for Season 6 . These scripts came out of one of our story conferences with George Lucas. As they moved through the production pipeline, they became finalized scripts with a great deal of the actual design work completed. The designs you will see, the plot lines, and character development in these comic books are all coming directly from the TV production. I turned over all of the art to Dark Horse so they could create an accurate representation of what we were planning for the show."

Overwatch - Dragon slayer

[blackruzsa]

 This time, we're looking at Overwatch's favorite grandpa knight and the biggest man in the entire game: Reinhardt



He's described by devs as a Don Quixote type character who holds onto fantasies of knights and dragons--but whose determination and honor make him a true hero. 

This also comes with a bonus cinematic that you can watch!
