I wanna see that movie too, so maybe I'll add it... Ah yeah Hellboy is a Mike Migniola comic – I leaned towards not including that one (obviously)… there’s some overlap there for sure.

Again, I don't know if this falls into the "superhero" category or the just plain weird: Hellboy Wikipedia describes the comicbook premise as: "As a demon named Anung Un Rama, Hellboy was brought to Earth as an infant by Nazi occultists. He was rescued by Allied forces and raised by the United States’ Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense (BPRD). He grew up to be a large red-skinned demon with a tail, horns (which he files down to stumps), and a big stone right hand. Although a bit gruff, he shows none of the malevolence thought to be intrinsic to demons and works with other strange creatures in the B.P.R.D. He has been dubbed as the "World's Greatest Paranormal Investigator." And the Wikipedia entry on the film describes it as a "fantasy thriller". Anyway...take all that for what it's worth. The film sports a 79% fresh rating from rottentomatoes, but I haven't seen the movie or read the comic. Jase, I just thought of another comicbook/movie adaptation.

Dredd and his fellow Judges are empowered to arrest, sentence and even execute criminals on the spot." Of course, if your definition includes folks in weird uniforms from a dystopian future who run around killing guys, then yeah, I guess he's a "superhero" of sorts ;-) Judge Dredd was no superhero!

The movie "Crumb" I actually enjoyed a ton because it ended up being less about him than his nutso brothers. I almost added it to this list, but that's a film based on a cartoonist, not a specific comic book per se ... Judge Dredd - is that dude a super hero? Was that the flick with that annoying Rob Schneider character... yeah that was poor!

Cool, I'll add History of Violence, I didn't realize that was based on a comic book. Josie and the Pussycats and Fritz the Cat must have been really terrible for you if the cat appeal didn't function... Hey Eng – I got a Tshirt post coming up for your contest in the works.
