(preliminary cover art shown at left from advertisement on right) --> Join the Simpsons as they tell their slightly skewed and thoroughly twisted versions of the world's most-beloved animal stories. Remember the tale of the spider that saved a pig's life or the animal-themed board game that came to life or the elephant king and his family, or the three pets on an incredible journey or the rabid dog or the animal collective that lived on a farm? Well, they are all here in this issue, and these stories will never be the same! Available in December 2009! (preliminary cover art shown at left from advertisement on right) --> The Simpsons take part in a massive multiplayer online role playing game that takes them on a medieval quest, into simulated cities, and into battle against super soldiers. Join in the game. You'll be surprised at who you meet along the way! Grampa marries Mr. Burns' mother, and Homer and his billionaire boss become brothers. But what happens when the brother you always wanted turns out to be someone you can't stand? Beloved cartoonist Sergio Aragonés writes, draws, and provides the cover for his first full-length Simpsons Comics issue. Springfield is on the brink of a nuclear meltdown (what else is new?) and Homer must do everything in his power to save the plant, the town, and his family from what is basically all his fault! Brace yourself for some serious silliness in 'No Cause for Alarm!' Homer decides it's time to take his government rebate and turn in his old clunker for a new eco-friendly car. But he soon learns that eco-friendly does not necessarily mean more convenient or new and improved and he tries to get his old sedan back. Homer fears that Marge has lost interest in him, so he goes to Professor Frink for help. Frink provides Homer with a scientific formula or 'love potion,' as you will, but after Marge takes one swig, she only seems to have eyes for someone else - a handsome hotelier named Nick Aphrodite. All eyes are on Springfield when a huge cycling race is set to take place in town. Homer is determined to win the race, but how will he emerge from the pack and take the checkered flag with no racing experience at all? That's where Bart enters the plan. When the halfway houses are all full, Judge Harm must find a halfway decent house to detain Snake. After sentencing Homer to community service for a related incident, the judge places the repeat offender with the Simpsons. Will the love of a good family reform the hardened criminal, or does Snake have something more devious in mind for his new landlords? After Bart attempts to scare Lisa with the help of an urban myth, Grampa Simpson decides to teach them both a lesson or two with a trio of myth- informed tales drawn very loosely from Greek, Norse, and modern-day super-heroic mythology. Bart gains a partner in crime when a new kid comes to Springfield Elementary. But it does not take long before Bart's accomplice becomes his chief competitor, prompting Bart to delve into the wannabe's mysterious past only to find himself in way over his head. Simpsons Comics n. 76 by Chuck Dixon. Simpsons Super Spectacular. Issues 10 - 16. When the rats in Moe's Tavern take flight and make plans to take over Springfield, there is only one mighty force that can stand in the way of The Rat Pack. Prepare yourself for the derring-do of the Unleashed Legion! Then, Bartman is on the case, when people all over Springfield fall victim to random hairnappings. Finally, one of Radioactive Man's adversaries will get a second chance at defeating the Atomic Avenger when he makes his return as. the Retroactive Man! As Pieman, Homer has served out justice with a firm crust, some whipped topping, and a creamy filling. But the legend of the Pieman has existed long before Homer put on his cape and pie tin, and now he is about to come mask to mask with the Piemen of the World. Then, Stretch Dude is in need of a new partner when Clobber Girl is sidelined by the Superflu, but there is only one available Gluestick (alias Ralph Wiggum). After a run-in with The Brotherhood of Bullies, Bartman is entrusted with Professor Frink's newest invention, a cell phone that can give its owner superheroic abilities. In the hands of Bartman's sidekick, however, Houseboy (Milhouse) turns into a very, very, bad boy! Then while visiting Frink Labs, Bart uses the professor's newest invention to do the family laundry, and soon the genetic material from the clothing melds with Frink's concoction to create sentient metal creatures that resemble the Simpsons. Dial "M" for Milhouse! MMMMMMMM Pages: 13 Script: Ian Boothby Pencils: John Delaney Inks: Andrew Pepoy Colors: Nathan Hamill Letters: Karen Bates Editor: Bill Morrison Reprinted in: Simpsons Illustrated #7 (comic) Who splotches the Splotchmen? Following an attack on Springfield's most famous comedian, Springfield's past and present costumed heroes (Pie Man, Cupcake Kid, Dr. New Haven, Pastry Face, the Original Collector, French Silk Spectre, and more) must work together to thwart a highly unstable, cream-filled plot to broker a peace with their town rival, Shelbyville. "Who splotches the Splotchmen?" in the preview description was close enough to make people aware that an issue honouring Watchmen and the "Who watches the Watchmen" phrase was coming. As with many of the Super Spectacular issues (and Radioactive Man before them) the best is inside, but we'll note here on the cover that they've also incorporated a second cover in the hands of Bart Simpson parodying a Watchmen cover, both shown here to the right. The Watchmen cover on the right is a close-up of a blood stained smiley face. Of course, "Who watches the Watchmen" itself is a phrase "frequently associated with the political philosophy of Plato and the problem of political corruption" (Wiki) being a translation of "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" but the source is actually traditionally quoted from the Satires of Juvenal , the 1st/2nd century Roman. Ripped from the headlines of Playbill magazine, a cautionary tale of superhero mega-musicals gone awry! When Claude Kane III is approached to finance a singing spectacular based on the exploits of Radioactive Man, he soon finds himself doing double duty while trying to save the production from a director whose vision can't be contained, a rock 'n' roll composer whose ego needs to be kept in check, and a budget that continues to skyrocket, along with protecting the helpless cast and crew caught in the middle! Radioactive Man welcomes guest artist Frank Brunner (Doctor Strange) for a twisted and tyrannical trans-dimensional tale! When Radioactive Man's fellow Superior Squad member Plasmo the Mystic goes missing, the Irradiated Crusader must travel across time and space to rescue the supernatural spellcaster. Then, a new, all-girl, superhero team, The Nerds of Prey (Jessica Lovejoy, Sherri and Terri, and Greta Wolfcastle), spring into action under the watchful eye and technological savvy of a secretive Lisa Simpson with one goal in mind -- rescuing Bartman from the clutches of the Cat Lady Woman. Enhanced with a spectacular cover by Hilary Barta. Bartman discovers a Japanese comic book at the Android's Dungeon depicting some of his greatest exploits in manga form. And then in a crisis of discontinuous continuities, Plasmo taps into a neighboring dimension to find a replacement for a fallen Superior Squadron comrade, causing a calamitous chain reaction and a world overpopulated with duplicate heroes and villains.
