Danger Diabolik From Fumetti to Film (2005)

Famous comic book artist Stephen R Bissette creator of DC Comic Book character The Swamp Thing and cocreator of the comic character Constantine teaches film appreciation and the art of comic book illustration in rural Vermont Bissette is a lifelong fan of DANGER DIABOLIK and in From Fumetti to Film Bissette gives us a guided tour of how in his own words DANGER DIABOLIK was the best adaptation of comic book to feature film bar none His concepts of how the apparent 2dimensional world of comic book illustrations were faithfully but imaginatively reinterpreted by director Mario Bava are enhanced with side by side comparisons of the original comic book images laid next to film clips Other films and television adaptations of comic books in that era were less successful according to Bissette
