As the success of The Umbrella Academy may tell, Netflix seems to love themselves an adaptation that seems a little... 'out there'.

So, with this in mind, Netflix might just fall in love with minuscule indy comic book Those Annoying Post Bros. A comic based on the works of H. P. Lovecraft, Philip K. Dick and ambient electronic music, that revolves around a pair of reckless criminals that roam the streets of the otherworldly pocket dimension city of Bugtown, where every citizen is immortal. Too weird? Too weird. Damn interesting though.

Unequivocally the smallest and lesser-known comic books on this list, Those Annoying Post Bros. ran for 13 years via multiple publishers from 1985-1998, eventually going on to be preserved in prose novels by series creator Matt Howarth in the years after the comic book's culmination.

A truly unique and inventive comic book elevated by it's short-lived and guerrilla style of publishing, Those Annoying Post Bros. is a book with all the hallmarks of a potential series the likes of which have never been put to the small screen before.
