This thread had to deal with the bit of semantics that came up earlier (at one point, someone asked about the first prestige comic book film, so Star Wars and Tarzan came up. The rational for Star Wars had to do with the comic book preceding the film in terms of release, though I will note that the novelization came out even earlier in 1976).
