A comprehensive history of the various theatrical films and television shows adapted from the plethora of comic strips and comic books Americans have loved for most of the century_from Archie, Barbarella, Batman, and Blondie, to The Vigilante and Wonder Woman, and everyone in between, including Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
