Comic Series Information
First published: November 1993
Publisher: Bongo Comics
Number of issues: 178



Simpsons Comics is a monthly United States comic book series based on the animated TV show The Simpsons, published by Matt Groening's Bongo Comics group. The first issue was published in November 1993. Since then over one hundred issues have been released, with the 100th issue mainly the comic book equivalent of a clip show.

Since March 1997, the comic has also had a monthly UK edition. This mainly reprints the strips from the U.S. edition, along with pages featuring UK readers' drawings (currently Springfield Multiplex for movie parodies, and Springfield Cable Network for TV parodies) and Junk Mail, a letters page which also features generic drawings, along with the readers' frequent attempts to guess the identity of the woman who answers the letters (Karen Bates). The U.S. and Australian editions used to have Junk Mail, but it disappeared beginning with #114.

Also published is Simpsons Classics, which reprints strips from earlier editions 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 the magazine is intended for children and Disney has no ownership of the franchise.

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

The Australian editions include an Angry Dad comic.

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

Issues

The American Simpsons Comics was originally published bimonthly, but beginning with #13, began monthly publication. It went back to bimonthly publication at #30 before finally resuming monthly publishing at #51.
