I assume TB would have a problem with Sin City as well.

I had Harry Potter, Hunger games and Twilight in mind. I obviously didn't have a clue as to how unoriginal Hollywood is. Like I said before, I’ll let JasonF defend his pick and then decide.

Re: A Good Day To Play Sheep

Regardless of whether actual comic books are disqualified because they're technically more akin to magazines, it's obvious that Captain America comics have been collected and published in series of hardcover and softcover books. The question didn't say 'series of novels', it said 'series of books'. Just about any major comic has been published as a series of books, either in part or in whole.

If I take a bunch of Glamour magazines and publish them in two coffee table books, that's a book series?

Challenge George Smiley would be wrong as well, The Spy Who Came In From The Cold came out in the 60's.

Re: A Good Day To Play Sheep

Nancy Drew is one of those "movies I've seen and I'm not sure why" for me.
