From Option to Screen – The Books We’d Love To See Adapted Part II

Every week, hundreds of new comic books hit the local shelves. Many of these are long ongoing titles while others come and go quickly, being mini-series or one shots.

Last fall we visited a bunch of the books and titles that had options or media deals that have not gone beyond the option or if they did, they’re still in the wee early stages of ever getting turned into a show.

This is where we dive into the books that either haven’t been optioned or if they did, it’s long expired that we would all love to see and welcome being adapted into a television show or movie. Welcome to Part II of Books We’d Love to see Adapted.

Spread Fans: Kyle Strahm Selling Rare Signed and Graded Books

Kyle Strahm has been a friend of the site well before the first issue of Spread came out. Around NYCC 2013. The site has been a fan of Kyle’s since we first saw the convention teaser way back when. It is always good to hear from him, as busy as he is, and love when he occasionally throws books up for sale. He has two pretty rare signed and graded books up.

One to watch: Spread Cover Album

I think i have made it well known that I am a big fan of The Spread by Justin Jordan and Kyle Strahm. The story and art have hooked me from the beginning and I have talked about the “Lone Wolf and Cub meets The Thing” (sorry, elevator pitch) book since before it began. They also have been pretty innovative with the book. They released the Spread Convention Teaser, both Blue and Yellow versions at NYCC a few years back to drum up interest, they are rare and valuable (glad I have both of them), as well as the black and white art book (these almost never come up for sale). They even started the whole Action Figure Variant craze (I know the SCUD issue was the first but the Spread ones made it popular) with their Spread Action Figure Variants. Anyway, and I digress, they releases a rare book this year which is bringing in good money. One is up for sale at a very reasonable price. Continue reading “One to watch: Spread Cover Album”

I love Spread, going back to the NYCC promo that came out two years ago. (I have a CBCS Graded double signed Blue, and a double signed yellow ungraded.) I have gotten every cover that has come out, and I am not usually a completist. I know there are a few others on here that feel the same way. That is why I flipped when I saw Kyle Strahm (artist on Spread) had posted a super rare Cover Album on eBay. Continue reading “Auction Watch: Super rare retailer Spread Cover Album hits eBay”
