This one I've not figured out - first comic based on a movie?

[JVJ]

Probably Jumbo Comics #3 (November 1938) which adapts "Mr. Doodle Kicks Off" starring Joe Penner *adaptation of RKO Radio Film"

That does pre-date DC's MOVIE COMICS by 6 months, which featued the first adaption of movie serials in comics - "Scouts to the Rescue" , "Oregon Trail" and "The Phantom Creeps"

This is some obscure stuff I never would have had an idea. Great old comic lore

First comic "I" read based on a movie would be Star Wars.

"Jedifish?"

"This IS the worm you're looking for!  This IS the worm you're looking for!"

Maybe the tequila worm.

I like obscure facts

[JVJ]

I like 'em, too. The only reason I knew that Jumbo info was that Bud Plant loaned me his copies of three oversized Jumbo's (#s 3,5,8) to index for the GCD. What a treat! I just remembered that movie thing because the star, Joe Penner, is featured on the cover of #3. When it comes to obscure fact, people say I'm full of it.
