Unlike some of the others on this list, Spider-Man wasn’t a throw-off — he was specifically a middle finger, written and made specifically with the idea that it wouldn’t sell, but it was a good idea anyway.
Scott Pilgrim’s Happy Little Comic Strip
Scott Pilgrim is the movie that ruined Metric, bass guitars, and all movie commentary for seven years. It was a blockbuster hit mixing video games, music videos, style, substance, and a lesbian for good measure. The film was based on is a six-volume series by Bryan Lee O’Malley about Scott Pilgrim and his battle with the exes that was published piece by piece for years, but the story starts well before that in the webcomic Style, which … great name, Bry.
The series was a small, short webcomic that O’Malley didn’t make for that long while he was working on Lost at Sea, one of his early graphic novels, but despite its close proximity to that book, it was the genesis of Scott Pilgrim. The series functions almost like a very small, mostly unconnected prequel to the comic, showing the life of Kim Pine before Scott Pilgrim came crashing in.
The series continued for a few strips on the Oni Press website before Kim eventually upgraded to comic series and eventual starring role in the film and playable character in the game. All from a small webcomic that Bryan Lee O’Malley wrote for like a week in the ’90s.
