10 More Non-Superhero Comic Series That Would Make Great TV Shows

By Carl Jansson /

When I wrote the original 10 Non-Superhero Comic Series That Would Make Great TV Shows a few weeks ago, I agonized over which titles to choose from my master list, and which ones to discard. Many were in the article until a last minute substitution required casting them to the side. It was just so hard to choose! There are so many great comics being published right now, not to mention ones published in decades past. Image comics alone are publishing some of the industry€™s most groundbreaking and genre defining books right now. Saga, Morning Glories, Prophet, The Great Pacific, Skullkickers and Peter Panzerfaust are just a few of their most popular and most diverse offerings. And that is just one publisher! Dark Horse, Vertigo, Boom! Studios, IDW, and many others have some brilliant comics coming out every week proving that superheroes are not the end all be all of American comics. And that isn€™t even counting original graphic novels or straight to digital series like Pride Of Baghdad or Freakangels. I had so many titles left over that it only made sense to make this into a series. So here goes part two, of who knows how many, 10 Non-Superhero Comic Series That Would Make Great TV Shows. Again, these are just American comics, but I may have to make a separate list of British comics, European albums, Japanese Manga, etc. at another point. In any case, TV executives, I hope you€™re still paying attention, because I€™m about to drop some science... fiction.
