Bongo Comics: Hilarious All-Ages Fun from the Mind of Matt Groening
Bongo Comics was the realization of Matt Groening’s childhood dream to own a comic book company. After the massive success of Simpsons Comics & Stories, Groening and his friends officially formed Bongo in 1993 to fill a void in the market for truly "funny" comic books. Unlike the television show, which leans toward a more mature audience, Bongo's titles are crafted as stand-alone stories that are appropriate and entertaining for fans of all ages.
The World of Springfield in Print
Bongo Comics became famous for expanding the lore of The Simpsons through various spin-offs and specials that dive deeper into the quirky characters of Springfield.
- Simpsons Comics: The flagship title that ran for decades, offering fresh adventures for Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie. It’s a "mind-blowing" example of how to translate TV humor into a visual, sequential format.
- Bartman: A hilarious parody of the "dark and gritty" superhero era, featuring Bart Simpson’s crime-fighting alter-ego.
- Radioactive Man: A brilliant meta-commentary on comic book history, following the fictional hero that Bart and Milhouse idolize. Each issue often parodies a different "age" of comic books, from the Golden Age to the modern era.
