Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT When Watchmen author Alan Moore recommends a superhero title, it would seem that the story would get its fair share of positive attention – such as receiving a major film, or television adaptation. However, as Moore strongly maintains, the comic book industry's primary focus is not centered around adapting quality superhero comic book content, making it unlikely his favorite classic character will ever be adapted.
The Richard E. Hughes and Ogden Whitney series Herbie , – which ran for twenty-three issues between 1964 and 1966 – followed the adventures of Herbie Popnecker, a regular guy who one day came into the possession of a supply of special lollipops, which gave him super-human abilities. Eager to help the weak and the vulnerable, Herbie used his lollipops to fight against wrongdoers.
Far from a stranger to creative storytelling himself, Moore commented on how he thought Herbie stacked up against the other greats of the genre: Despite Moore's Recommendation, Herbie Is Likely To Remain Obscure Despite the fact that Herbie is an amazingly innovative comic, with a humorous appeal, its eccentric, whimsical, and at times surreal nature, it is not content that would appeal to most mainstream movie-makers, or even most superhero movie fans.
