Comic book adaptations of movies were generally pretty dull, but as a kid I pored over the Goodwin/Simonson/Janson adaptation of Close Encounters. It had a magic of its own that sprang entirely from their use of the medium. I studied it intensely and learned a lot about how comics can work.
Below:
Fig 1: Simonson in 1978.
Fig 2: Me in 1998. I didn't realize I'd done this until years later!
