NBCUniversal Taps Lion Forge Comics to Develop Digital Comic Books Based on Beloved 80s TV Shows

TL;DR The folks at Lions Forge Comics are making comic books featuring Punky Brewster, Knight Rider, Airwolf, Miami Vice and Saved By The Bell. This could be a great door-opener for bringing back several other beloved properties of the 80's as well, comics having always been a great gateway in to the field of animation.

So in the tradition of Punky Brewster, Laverne & Shirley, Fonz, Mork & Mindy, etc... what beloved 80's property would YOU like to see brought to comics and/or cartoons?

My votes are for Silver Spoons (it would be kind of like a scaled-down Richie Rich), The Edison Twins (a scientific Sherlock Holmes of the 80's) and/or The Greatest American Hero (there's more stories in that concept, I just know it!)

I'll have to think about this, but first of all:

I want Captain N comics back! I was the proud owner of the German print of the very first issue, which my parents duly binned at some point. Can't find it anywhere online. ANYWHERE!

Fruit vs. vegetable war ftw (English version can be found online if you are curious)!

I have the English version a few times over... they reprinted it in about 3 or 4 versions that i can think of off the top of my head... they made the individual issues and then reprinted the stories in various "collections" with other Nintendo-themed comics stories well in to the 90's :)
