The
Simpsons
is the longest running animation series of all time with viewing
figures regularly topping five million an episode. The series
was recently voted The
Most Popular TV Show Of All Time
in a poll conducted by Channel 4. And now Titan are releasing
Simpsons
comic collections which bring together some of the best stories
from the comic book series...
Big
Bad Book of Bart Simpson sees
another collection of stories straight out of the pages of
The
Simpsons comics. While
in places some of the writing for these strips is on a par
with the TV series (exceeding it on occasion) the majority
of the writing is not quite up to scratch.
This
collection sees some interesting stories including a look
at what happens when Snowball II becomes a superhero; Milton
believing that he is invisible; a day in the life of Ralph
Wiggum; and what happens when Bart turns into a creature that
looks not unlike the monster in The Creature From the Black
Lagoon.
It
really is a shame that a full, one story, graphic novel hasn't
been commissioned yet. As I mentioned earlier, some of the
writing is as good as the TV series and it is only the fact
that the other stories are so short that stops them from being
as good as they might be.
There
are a couple of misprints, missing words and a speech bubble
that seems to have lost it's white background so the text
is almost illegible. But, apart from these inexcusable misprints,
this is a fairly entertaining collection of short stories.
