Simpsons Comics at its Best!.......2004-06-17

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.

'Lisa in Wordland' alone earns this 5 stars.......2003-05-26

As an avid Lisa Simpson fan, I have hunted high and low for Lisa Comics #1:Lisa in Wordland (ca. 1995). I have finally found it in this comic collection. Besides Lisa in Wordland (perhaps the most thought-provoking comic in the Simpsons comics series), I also enjoyed most of the other comics and Matt Groening articles in this volume. Two weak points: The one where Krusty gets the Hollywood job wasn't that funny, and the first comic had a plot IDENTICAL to a TV episode (the Old/New Springfield one). However, I doubt there will be a Lisa Comics #2 anytime soon (Lisa in Numberland would be a good idea, since I AM a math person.)

This book is great for any collection. It is fun to read, and the illustrations are so colorful and bright! It's just like watching the TV show, but your reading it! What more can I say?

serch put it well........2002-12-20

It just wasn't very funny.
I agree with pretty much everything serch said.

Not a big laugh to be found here, there's some kay spots though.
The Lisa story is just bad.

Not as Jam-Packed as Simpsons Comics Unchained.......2002-12-15

This book is one of the larger ones--159 pages. Unlike the even bigger book, Unchained,which was over 170 pages of comics and other fun stuff, Royale includes short stories by Matt Groening. These stories are about his childhood (his first bully, cheap haircuts, etc.) that sheds some light on what influenced his creation of those cool Simpsons characters. While the stories are interesting, I'd prefer more comics, fake advertisements, etc. Groening could put his stories in a separate book for those interested in his life. Comic-wise, the book includes shorts featuring Radioactive Man, Krusty the Klown, Bartman, Sideshow Mel, and Itchy & Scratchy. The four full-length comics are as follows:

"Wall or Nothing": The first comic is the funniest. In a fight over Springfield's water supply, residents of upper and lower Springfield start a feud that culminates in a giant wall dividing the town. When visiting his father, Milhouse finds himself on the other side of the wall. Can Bart rescue his friend?

"The Inquisitory Zone": Lisa is excited about a new "educational" kids' play house at the mall. Bart is excited when he discovers some of the attractions likes "Whack the Abandoned Vehicle," "Fun With Saws," and the "Graffiti Area." Wait 'til Lisa finds out whose really behind the Inquisitory Zone.

"Krusty's 11": Hoping to try out his serious acting skills, Krusty stars in his first motion picture. The producers, however, only want Krusty to clown around.

"Lisa's Adventures in Wordland": A very clever comic that can only be appreciated through detailed exploration. How many comics come with references?
