On the topic of graphic novels/comic books that may be a little obscure... - Jay #1 - 10-22-2007

I've got the local comic book shop
(one of 3 in the city, but the only one where the employees actually know something. Heck, on Saturdays there's a guy working there who is a walking archive all things sci-fi and comics.)

searching for a series of french comics about a thief called Diabolik. The movie Danger Diabolik was based off of them.

Jay, you sound like a man who knows mucho comic-wise. Ever hear of an early-60s series, DC mebbe, called THE SUICIDE SQUAD?

Didn't they do a series of Diabolik/Dr. Mabuse meetups in Europe?

sadly no. The only reason why I know about diabolik is

1) it was on tv-links.co.uk before England's current spat with the owner of the site. it'll be down for awhile until they figure out that all he/she did was link, not upload to his/her site 2) I looked it up in wikipedia to find out info.

I'd like to see the Wolverine graphic novel "Meltdown" made into a feature film. It's dark, twisted and a different take on old canuckle head.
