Comics that were made into movies: ‘Garfield’, ‘Archies’ and more

DC and Marvel superheroes have been the twin titans of the Western comic book world. They first dominated newsstands and then theatres. But, parallel to the high octane fights, several comics have charmed audiences with their simplicity, satire and humour. Instead of relying on a fictitious universe, they found stories in everyday life, making the ordinary entertaining. Also, they offered a breath of fresh air against the adrenaline-fuelled fights. Be it the quirky love triangles between Popeye, Olive and Brutus or the witty one-liners of Garfield. These comics did not rely on action-packed sequences but enticed audiences with their sharp storytelling.
