Will there, or even can there ever be a successful comic book movie, that is not an action movie?

Are there any comic books that aren’t action stories? Let’s start there.

My knowledge of comics, and even this comic is low, but how about Love and Rockets?

Some manga-based animes are not action movies.

France also has its fair share of non-action comic book adaptions too.

Like Casper the Ghost? Garfield? Richie Rich?

There was even an Archie movie called Riverdale.

Go check out “I Kill Giants”, in select theaters now. It’s from an acclaimed comic about a little girl coping with family issues.

And, there are oodles of very good, non-super hero, non-action comics our there.

Comic books are not a genre — they are a delivery vehicle.

Non-action comic book movies:
American Splendor
Art School Confidential
Ghost World
Scott Pilgrim
Road to Perdition
History of Violence
Josie and the Pussycats
The Mask

Now, were those all “successful”?

Oooh! @Mimishu1995 reminded me of one of my favorites which i thought was a good adaptation, Tintin
