Posters

• Posters - Almost every issue, the comic comes with a free pull-out poster in the center pages of every comic since Simpsons Comics 89 (UK) . The poster is usually based on the front cover artwork, which is based on the story, so the poster fits into the comic quite well. The posters are occasionally double-sided, with more artwork on the back, but when just one-sided contain adverts on the back.
