Welcome to the third installment of the latest story arc for HKC! in which we explore the close relationship between comics and various other media.  And of course this issue is all about comic books that are based on licensed movie properties.While movies based on comic books are bountiful these days, the reverse was more often the rule in the past.  And present if a handful of publisher's work is any indication.  So Andy and Cole tapped their resident movie expert, Stu Baulk from Midnight Movie Cowboys to step a bit out of his normal comfort zone and talk comics that were based on film.The sheer volume of such comics took even your hosts by surprise as you will discover when we talk up comics licensed from big screen hits.  And big screen blunders, too!
