Customer Reviews

Simpsons Comics at its Best!

Out of my humongous Comic book library, this comic is one of my favorite. It's not like the other Simpsons Comics that I have. One thing is that this comic seems to have used water color which makes the pages seem more smoother and the pictures more realistic. The Comic contains a whole lot of other single Simpsons Comic Books into this one jampacked Comic. One of my favorite Comics here have to be "The Incredibly Stimulating Life of Sideshow Mel" which has no actual talking going on but it just shows Sideshow Mel going to the laundry and meeting up with an odd looking dog ...it's sort of hard to explain but it actually looks so boring that its amusing. This is a worthy addition to any Comic Book Collection.

Simpsons At its best

I've been watching the Simpsons for a while and just got this book for fun. Its great and even more craziness in one book. This book is also huge and full of great essays by Matt Groening. This book has 10 stories of the Simpsons everything form Itchy & Scratchy to how comics are made. This is a great book and a must for Simpsons fans.

Fabulously funny and satirical stories

The latest in the Simpson's family comic book anthologies, Simpsons Comics Royale features the further misadventures of America's favorite animated cartoon family. In addition to the fabulously funny and satirical stories (Walls of Nothing; Double Date; Li'l Goodfellas; The 1001 Costumes of Bartman; Inside Bongo Comics; Krusty's 11; Love Gory; Krusty's Channeling Tips; Planet Of The Strange-O's; and Lisa's Adventures In Wordland), the reader is treated to wonderfully funny and occasionally informative commentaries by Matt Groening. Simpsons Comics Royale is a "must" for the legions of fans following Springfield's favorite family of Homer, Marge, Lisa, Bart, and Maggie Simpson, along with all of their friends, neighbors, and fellow Springfieldians!

Not Just Another Simpsons Comic

I am a pretty rabid fan of the Simpsons, so I own a few of the comics and comic collections. This is not like the other comic collections where a few books are put together. These are new comics, along with comic book versions of episodes from the series. Reading the "episodes" is pretty cool in and of itself. There are also 15 short essays from Matt Groening - always good to have words direct from the master. He covers a lot of new topics like why Bart's hair is spikey, which character he likes the best, etc. Don't miss the "47 Secrets About The Simpsons, a Poem of Sorts, and Some Filler" chapter! A great buy for any Simpsons fan, a must buy for fanatics!
