In 1977 Marvel Comics published an adaptation of the film by legendary artist-creator Jack Kirby. Kirby - who had explored the idea of godlike extraterrestrials in his Fourth World and Eternals series - took enthusiastically to the adaptation and expanded the concepts in an ongoing series. While the ongoing series was not a success, it did introduce the character Machine Man, a sentient android given a humanoid personality through contact with the monolith. The character remains in regular Marvel continuity with references to the Kubrick film ret-conned out of his origin.
