At long last, CCFers, it’s time for your patience to be rewarded. It may be mid-March by the calendar, but it’s still Christmas in our hearts (at least, I hope so). I can’t thank you all enough for your patience over the last eleven weeks as I worked through a truly debilitating back injury while trying to wrap up my work on the American Comic Book Chronicles 1940-44 volume. Before we delve into your lists, let’s take a moment to peruse some enlightening statistics, shall we?
29 participants cast 318 votes for 263 series, runs, and/or single issues of our favorite comic books featuring characters or concepts originating in other media. As you can see, there was a lot more duplication and overlapping than we usually see. Because of the unorthodox nature of this particular survey, stats have been particularly difficult to compile and the results below can be a tad deceptive. For example, a dozen votes were cast for Marvel’s version of Conan but, because the votes were split between different titles, runs, story arcs, and single issues, its popularity is not reflected in the totals. I should add, too, that I unfortunately have neither the time nor the energy to break the stats down by publisher, genre, original medium, decade of publication, etc. If someone out there is willing to do the work, please feel free to append your findings to the end of this thread. And now the results:
Tied for the gold metal at 6 votes apiece are The Shadow (DC, 1973-74) and Tomb of Dracula.
In second place with 4 votes each are the EC Ray Bradbury adaptations, Comico’s Jonny Quest, and Neil Gaimin’s exquisite Sandman #19.
3 votes netted the bronze for 2001: A Space Odyssey, Alien: The Illustrated Story, Atari Force, King Kong, the complete run of Master of Kung Fu, Dark Horse’s Ring of the Nibelung, and Alex Toth’s Zorro.
2 votes: The Avengers #239, Blade Runner, The Empire Strikes Back, Fables #1-75, The Further Adventures of Indiana Jones, Godzilla, The Hobbit, How Superman Would End the War, Marvel’s John Carter, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Lorna Doone (Classics Illustrated #32), Marvel Super Special #1, MGM's Marvelous Wizard of Oz, Murder Mysteries, DC’s Phantom, Raymond Chandler’s Philip Marlowe: The Little Sister, “Red Nails”, DC’s Ring of the Nibelung, the complete run of Marvel’s Star Wars, Superman: War of the Worlds, the complete run of DC’s Tarzan, and #207-210 of that same title.
1 vote: Everything else!
