Films Tagged as Comic Book Adaptations That Adapt Newspaper Strip, Other Media Properties
Flash Gordon started as a newspaper strip, the Green Hornet started as a radio show. Subsequent adaptations into the comic book medium do not make film adaptations of those properties based on a comic book. The Transformers have also had many comic books depicting adventures; should the Transformers film receive the tag of based on a comic book? What of the Lone Ranger, who had a long-running comic book series?

Those four properties, notably Transformers and Lone Ranger, are best remembered for their TV shows. Transformers in particular started out as a toy cartoon.
In my view, if the property was directly adapting a comic, then it can count as a comic adaptation.
