The 1981 comedy film ''The Incredible Shrinking Woman'', directed by Creator/JoelSchumacher and starring Creator/LilyTomlin in the title role, is both a {{remake}} and spoof of the original story. In 2015, there was a comic book adaptation from Creator/IDWPublishing, which was distributed in a four-issue miniseries between July and October. It shares the novel's title (though the variant cover to Issue 3 uses the movie title) and is closer to it in terms of story detail.
