From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Since its inception, television, like film and radio before it, has borrowed stories and characters from other media. This is a collection of examples of that borrowing from comics.

[edit] Comic strips

Comic strips are a drawing or sequence of drawings that tells a story. Written and drawn by a cartoonist, such strips are published on a recurring basis (usually daily or weekly) in newspapers, on the Internet, and in some cases in magazines. For the purposes of this list, comic strips published over one or a number of pages in a specialised comic book or magazine are not included.
