This idea probably isn't entirely original, especially since by this point all new works have drawn some inspiration from elsewhere. Inspired by The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen but unlike that series, this list entertains the idea of placing literary characters inside existing comic book worlds—rather than exclusively featuring literary characters.

Move Over Belle And Cinderella, 'Wonder Woman' Could Be A Disney Princess!
The recent super heroine film, Wonder Woman, came out kicking and lasso swinging as it left satisfaction among its viewers. The blockbuster broke the traditional aesthetic surrounding comic book films, introducing a new way to save the world with your friends –– and while doing so, included a scene touched with a bit of inspiration from one of Disney's popular animated films, The Little Mermaid.

"From Chaos Came Superheroes!" How an Online Course Made Me Appreciate Comic Books and Superheroes
The superhero genre and the comic book industry are dominating the market right now. However, that wasn't the case in the 1930s, when comic books were widely viewed as children's reading materials, despite having story-lines that clearly isn't just for kids, but for everyone as well.

Wakanda U: Black Villains Matter
Name some Black comic book villains off the top of your head. Who comes to mind immediately? Black Manta is certainly a stand out. Fans of Netflix’s Luke Cage will probably call out Cottonmouth, Diamondback, and Black Mariah, even if they have never cracked open an issue of the titular indestructible Black hero. The Black Panther movie is around the corner. Do I hear a Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan’s Marvel movie redemption) or White Gorilla (Danial Kaluuya of Get Out and Black Mirror fame)? And how many of you brought up names of villains that weren’t originally Black? For instance, the late Michael Clarke Duncan’s Kingpin being the ONLY redeeming quality of the horrible Daredevil movie, or Jamie Foxx’s shockingly good Electro in The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
