The Greatest American Hero returns!!!

"Here's some Comic-Con news that's sure to have the old "believe it or not, we're walking on air..." song stuck in your head, the people behind the '80s superhero show The Greatest American Hero have unveiled some upcoming projects.

The comic coming out in November is a retelling of the origin story from the show with a few changes. The story takes place in present day, there will be less of a focus on Ralph's teaching job, he no longer has a son and his hair is ... not as big.

But everything else fans loved about the show is still there.

And how about a GAH movie?

Katt did confirm that producer Stephen J. Cannell has a finished script for the feature film. He went on to say that he has read the script and thought it was fantastic."

1. Thanks for the good news! I loved that show.

2. My pleasure

I loved it too. Great comic gold with the liberal Ralph versus the conservative Bill. I'm not sure how well that angle will play these days...too much animosity there. Might make it even funnier....imagine a bleeding-heart liberal with the ultimate power. A neo-con's nightmare.

3. I think it would play great now days, at least for the good guys-us.

LOL that's what we need to beat the bastids, super powers!

4. What's interesting

is although Bill was a conservative, many of the bad guys on the show were described as "right-wing".

5. LOL that's probably b/c the right wingers have been the bad guys

for a long time.
