Simpsons Comics #100  (Nov 2004)    100 Fun-Packed Pages! Bongo Comics Group celebrates the 100th issue of Simpsons Comics with something old , something new, something borrowed, and something blue with the first "clip show" comic book in the history of comicdom, and at the same time we tell you a brand-new, extra-long, full-length story. When Bart discovers that he and the rest of Springfield have been the subjects of a hundred comic books, he goes on a scavenger hunt for all the issues he can find including; the never before told story of Nuclear Power Man and Iron Foot starring Carl and Lenny, as well the gung ho, time traveling team-up of Raging Sergeant Abe Simpson and the Fighting Hellfish with Sergeant Seymour Skinner and his Grovelin' Grunts. However, Bart's search leads him to discover the terrible truth behind comic book collecting's greatest mystery. Also includes an appearance and art by special guest Sergio Aragones.

Simpsons Comics #101  (Dec 2004) There are few things in the world that have a closer relationship than Homer and his sofa. So many memories, so many televised sporting events, so many pork rinds, such a big impression left in the cushions. After years of shared comfort food and the residual crumbs from said comfort food in the sofa's crevices, a man and his sofa are not soon parted; especially when said man is determined to spend a whole year... on said sofa! Sofa So Good MMMMMMMMPages:  27 Script:  Ian Boothby Pencils:  John Costanza Inks:  Phyllis Novin Colors:  Art Villanueva Letters:  Karen Bates Editor:  Bill Morrison Reprinted in:  Simpsons Comics Supernova       Cover Illustration:   Bill Morrison, Jason Ho, Mike Rote Cover Text:   "Bart Was Here!" sign springing out of the banana. Departments:   Junk Mail Slight change in cover design moves Bongo logo from top left to bottom right and moves issues number from top left to top right. Over the next few years the issue number would often migrate back to the top left and the Bongo logo will be placed where most convenient for the cover design.

Simpsons Comics #102  (Jan 2005) Mr. Burns takes the Simpsons along on his annual summer vacation treasure hunt, but his South Seas adventure soon becomes a matter of life and death for everyone concerned.

Kudos to contributor Charles T. Smith, who identified the original source of this cover, Donald Duck #159 from August 1947, drawn by Carl Buettner. The original story, Ghost in the Grotto, retitled on the Simpsons cover to "The Battle for the Barks Billions!", was written and drawn by Disney artist Carl Barks. Note the precise positioning of all the parallel elements, from the identical lamp on the lower left, the location of the coins and the design of the chest. Yet another Carl Barks homage appears with the cover of Free Comic Book Day 2011. << Previous Cover   Next Cover >>
