Yes, Men in Black - the goofy blockbuster featuring agents tasked with hiding extraterrestrials on Earth - is based on a comic book, a property of the now-defunct Aircel Comics. The movie adaptation, however, made significant changes from the comic, lightening the tone and removing some of the comic's more unsavory elements. For example, the comic book "Men In Black" would routinely murder witnesses rather than using the movie's now-famous "Neuralyser" memory eraser.
