Simpsons Comics

Wikisimpsons - The Simpsons Wiki
Revision as of 04:51, July 19, 2009 by 121.45.187.235 (talk)

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 of 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 man who answers the letters. 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 here started in the same order in February, 1996.

In australia there are angry dad comics

As of November 2007 Simpsons Comics are publish in Serbia by Večernje novosti. [1]
