Lets have a thread for discussing Bongo comics.


Who else here loves the material they put out?

I get misty eyed when I remember being 10 and marching up to 7-11 to grab a hotdog and a Simpsons comic. God how I'd love to get that stuff in a nice collection, especially Radioactive Man.

Up and atom! Bart Simpson's favorite comic hero, Radioactive Man, is here to save the day for superhero fans both old and new! Ever since his historic comic book debut in 1952 (in The Simpsons universe). Radioactive Man (otherwise known as layabout playboy Claude Kane III) and his faithful sidekick Fallout Boy (aka former juvenile delinquent Rod Runtledge) have been making Zenith City safe from insidious evil-doers such as Dr. Crab, Magmo the Lava Man, Hypno-Head, Larva Girl, Larceny Lass, and Richard Milhous Nixon, to name but a few. For decades, fans have clamored for a deluxe collection of Radioactive Man tales. Now, at last, the Atomic Avenger receives the treatment he deserves in this comprehensive and historic archival edition of his greatest adventures!

Born in the Plutonium Age of Comics, "Radioactive Man" has delighted comic aficionados with its savvy satire and pointed parodies of the last sixty years of comic book history. Ever since his historic comic book debut in 1952 (in "The Simpsons" universe), Radioactive Man (otherwise known as layabout playboy Claude Kane III) and his faithful sidekick Fallout Boy (aka former juvenile delinquent Rod Runtledge) have been making Zenith City safe from insidious evildoers such as Dr. Crab, Magmo the Lava Man, Hypno-Head, Larva Girl, Larceny Lass, and Richard Milhous Nixon—to name but a few.

On a grander scale, Radioactive Man often battles evil across the universe, and even between dimensions, in the ranks of the Superior Squad, a super team of metahumans that includes Captain Squid, Bug Boy, Plasmo the Mystic, Lure Lass, Weasel Woman, and Brave Heart!

For decades, fans have been clamoring for a deluxe collection of "Radioactive Man" tales. Now, at last, the Atomic Avenger receives the treatment he deserves in this comprehensive and historic archival edition of his greatest adventures!

Just three weeks more.

I really like the Bongo books. They are good portrayals of the characters, don't take short cuts, and are a decent read. Plus they are safe for all ages.

Any word on when Sergio Aragones funnies will be back? I know he hurt his back and that caused some delays.

So what exactly is Simpsons Illustrated? And are the current comics worth picking up every month?

So what exactly is Simpsons Illustrated? And are the current comics worth picking up every month?

According to this it's a new quarterly title. I think it's new stories along with reprints of older stories.

I'm really interested in reading Bongo's offerings. I have fond memories of the few Simpsons comics I've read in the past. Like Hwlights asked, are the current comics worth picking up? I might pick up Simpsons Comics or Bart Comics on my next trip to my LCS.

I've started throwing an issue of Simpsons in with my online orders, so I have something to give my niece when she visits. I never read them myself though, so I can't comment on them content-wise.

When I was a kid in the 90s I loved Simspons and the EC reprints more than anything else out at the time.
