Since The Shadow by Walter B. Gibson was adapted to cinema in 1937, many superhero comics have been adapted to screen.
Novelizations aren’t just a transcription of the film story. They also add details and backstory to the plot in a literary way.
“To me the best book adaptations are like 'Brokeback Mountain.' Which is a short story, 21 pages, that expands so beautifully into a movie.”
DEREK CIANFRANCE (Filmmaker)
