The Comic: Millar’s darkest creation? Quite possibly. This is the four-part tale of child-murdering cartoonist Troy Hicks, who swaps lives with one of his creations, a penguin known as Frosty Pete, when he is sent to the gas chamber. Family-friendly stuff then.

The Movie Version: Just finding a studio willing to make this would be a triumph in itself. Take the character of Moe the Crow for example. He’s sent to prison for possessing child pornography, before being raped by a bulldog. It’s not quite Disney, is what we’re trying to say…

Dream Director: Peter Jackson did this sort of thing with Meet The Feebles, so if he can’t get The Hobbit made, we’d be more than happy to see him turn back to the dark side.

Dream Cast: Robin Williams as Troy Hicks. He’s dipped his toe in murky waters with One Hour Photo…time to go the whole hog!
