==Simpsons Comics in the UK and the USA==

−
'''[[Simpsons Comics]]''' in the UK have been published by ''[[Titan Magazines]]'' since March 1997. They are mostly the same as the American releases, the main differences being:
 
−
*Issues are released approximately a year behind the USA release.
 
−
*Comic sizes are larger, approximately A4 in size.
 
−
*Cover designs are slightly different, the most notable difference being a left hand side panel giving a preview of what's inside the comic.
 
−
*''[[Bart Simpson's Treehouse of Horror]]'' comics are included in this run instead of as a different series.
 
−
**This means the UK issue numbers are different to their American counterparts (e.g. The American [[Simpsons Comics 80|#80]] is the equivalent to the UK [[Simpsons Comics 90 (UK)|#90]]).
 
−
*Junk Mail is completely separate to the American version, instead including letters and drawings from British readers.
