Simpsons Comics

Comic Series Information First published: November 1993 Last published: October 17, 2018 Publisher: Bongo Comics Number of issues: 245

Simpsons Comics is a comic book series from United States, based on the animated TV show The Simpsons, published by Matt Groening's Bongo Comics group. It ended in October 2018.

History[edit]

The first issue was published in November 1993. Since then over two hundred issues have been released, with the 100th issue mainly the comic book equivalent of a clip show. Each issue features a "Junk Mail" section where readers can send in letters and artwork, however it was temporarily discontinued from issues #114-#186.

In Australia the comics are mostly identical to the US versions and have been released since 1993.

Since February 1997, the comic has had a monthly United Kingdom edition. This mainly reprints the strips from the U.S. edition but with a number of differences such as slightly different cover designs. Junk Mail has been featured in every UK issue (with the exception of issue #1).

Also formerly published was Simpsons Classics, which reprinted strips from earlier issues of Simpsons Comics. The stories have, however, been reprinted in trade paperbacks by Harper Perennial since 1995.

From 1994 to 1999, excerpts from Simpsons Comics were printed in Disney Adventures, although Disney had no ownership of the franchise until 2019, as part of the buyout of 21st Century Fox.

In the Latin edition, the magazines first published by the Mexican Grupo editorial vid, started in the same order in February, 1996.

Angry Dad comic strips regularly feature in the Australian addition.

As of November 2007, Simpsons Comics are published in Serbia by Večernje novosti.

In January 2012, the logo and design changed. The Bongo Comics' logo and their comics' logos changed, Simpsons Comics being the main reason for that, as they were getting closer to releasing the 200th issue. The new design was first used in the United Kingdom. This redesign also brought back the letters page, as well as adding a few new things, such as the Bongo Bonus Stamps.

From June 2012, the comic is published nine times a year.
