Which comic book *should* be made into a movie?

[jducoeur]

It was occurring to me this morning, as I reflected on the rash of (mostly surprisingly good) comic-book movies coming out this summer, that there were some I've always wanted to see. And that seems like a good topic for a conversation.

So: what comic book(s) do *you* think would make a good movie? Feel free to assume that it's a competent adaptation, not a hatchet job, but assume that it has to fit into the usual constraints of a movie: about two hours, and has to be able to make enough money to be worth its budget. (If it doesn't require as many special-effects, it doesn't have to make as much money.) Obscure is fine -- some great blockbusters have been made from little-known comics.

I've got a couple of favorites, but I'll provide my own answers in comments, so as not to bias things too much upfront...

Could start by showing them this...

Wow. Until you pointed that out, I had never believed, deep down, that you could *do* that face in real life...

I appreciate (but from a distance) how they incorporated the drooling.

Now, would they be able to film the moment when he kissed Laurie? Who knows.
