"“I was raised on D.C. comics myself--Batman, Superman, all those,” said Silver, the 36-year-old producer whose string of 1980s action hits include “48 HRS,” “Die Hard,” “Predator” and “Lethal Weapon.” “I was aware of the E.C. comics, but it wasn’t until they were reissued in bound volumes that I thought about adapting them.”"
