. It was originally published every two months, but went monthly in the fall of 2000. Since March 1997, the comic has also had a monthly United Kingdom edition. This mainly reprints the stories from the U.S. edition, along with pages featuring UK readers' drawings (currently ''Springfield Multiplex'' for movie parodies and ''Android's Dungeon'' for video game and comic book parodies) and ''Junk Mail'', a letters page which also features generic drawings, along with the readers' frequent attempts to guess the identity of 'Junk Mail Guy', the incredibly sarcastic man who answers the letters and has apparently been locked up in a basement. The U.S. and Australian editions used to have ''Junk Mail'', but it disappeared beginning with #114. But returned some time later. On March 20, 2013, Bongo Comics released the "200th issue" of the "Simpsons Comic," with the issue having an extra special supersized story.

''Bartman''

''Bartman'' was a short-lived series that told the tale of

's superhero alter-ego, Bartman, who first appeared in the season 2 episode " Three Men and a Comic Book". It was one of the four 'premiere' series released by Bongo Comics in late 1993. The ''Bartman'' series lasted only six issues, and was canceled in 1995. Many smaller ''Bartman'' stories have since been published in ''Simpsons Comics'' and ''Bart Simpson'' comics. The main writers and artists for the first three issues were Steve Vance and Bill Morrison, who were behind the creation of Bongo Comics itself. In late 1994, Steve Vance and his wife Cindy left Bongo Comics. The ''Bartman'' comic was put on hold and there was a gap of 9 months between ''Bartman'' #3 and #4. #4-6 contained a three-issue story arc written by Gary Glasberg and Bill Morrison, and with issue 6, ''Bartman'' was discontinued.


''Itchy & Scratchy Comics''

''Itchy & Scratchy Comics'' was a short-lived series, and one of the four original series released in late 1993 with the start of Bongo Comics. The first issue was released on November 29, 1993, and only two more issues were released after that as well as one special edition, called ''Itchy & Scratchy Holiday Hi-Jinx''. The comics tried to expand on two characters that really did not need any expanding, and the readers thought Itchy and Scratchy was best in short, violent bursts and that full-length stories only took away from the visceral shock of the cartoon, so the comic book series was canceled in 1994. Itchy & Scratchy continue to be featured in ''Simpsons Comics'' as short stories while Simpsons family members are watching TV. There were three different versions of the first ''Itchy & Scratchy'' issue available at the time. One version came with a poster that could be combined with posters contained in ''Radioactive Man'' #1, ''Simpsons Comics'' #1 and ''Bartma''n #1 to make a giant poster. This version sold for US$2.25. Another version that came out at the same time only cost US$1.95, but had a bar code on the cover and did not come with a poster. The third and the rarest variant was a reprint of the comic and it had the top right portion of Bart Simpson's head covered over the original bar code. This version also cost US$1.95 and did not come with a poster. In 1993, there was a signing at

''Radioactive Man''

''Radioactive Man'' was one of the four "premiere" series released by Bongo Comics in late 1993. The series has been released in two volumes, an early run from 1993 to 1994, and the current run that's been going on since 2000. Smaller ''Radioactive Man'' stories have also been published in ''Simpsons Comics''. As a tie-in promotion of ''

s as part of their Kwik-E-Mart promotion. Within the Bongo Comics, Radioactive Man is secretly Claude Kane III, a millionaire playboy whose personality was well-intentioned, but bumbling and not overly bright. In addition (which became a recurring storyline element), Claude's personality was permanently stuck in a conservative 1950s outlook on everything, no matter what the time era in question was. A running gag is that in order to preserve his secret identity, Claude is constantly wearing various types of hats, in order to conceal the lightning bolt-shaped shrapnel sticking out of his head. Issue #1 of the Bongo comic differs from ''Radioactive Man'' #1 as seen in ''The Simpsons'' episode " Three Men and a Comic Book". While featuring a similar scenario and accident (Claude getting his trousers caught on barbed wire just before a mega-bomb explodes, parodying Bruce Banner getting caught by the Gamma Bomb in the '' Incredible Hulk'' #1), the Bongo series' Claude was not wearing tattered clothes. In the comic book, Claude's survival is due in part to a large thunderbolt-shaped shard of metal embedded in his head by the explosion. Claude would attempt to remove the bolt throughout the book series, but each attempt has nasty consequences which results in it being put back in his scalp again. Additionally, the bolt's presence would save his life numerous times in increasingly bizarre ways. Maintaining the satirical standards of the television show, these comics often parodied genre comic books, and the reader can follow the evolution of Radioactive Man from a 1950s irradiated hero through the politically reactionary or radical years of the 1960s and 1970s, and the dark, troubled years of the 1980s and 1990s comic book hero. Indeed, one comic displays a startling similarity to Alan Moore's ''

'', with Radioactive Man taking the part of state-supported hero Doctor Manhattan. The comics are published as if they were the actual ''Simpsons'' universe's Radioactive Man comics; a "1970s"-published comic features a letter written by a ten-year-old Marge Bouvier, for instance. The comic also takes the idea that the title has been running since the 1950s and each issue of the real series is a random issue from that run. So one issue might be issue #357, the next #432 and the next #567 etc. ''Radioactive Man'' was merged with ''Simpsons Super Spectacular'' in 2005.


''Bartman and Radioactive Man''

''Bartman and Radioactive Man'' was a 16-page one-shot released in 1994. The comic was featured in the '' Hero Illustrated'' magazine, and it contained a mini poster of Bartman and Radioactive Man. The story was written by Steve Vance.


''Krusty Comics''

''Krusty Comics'' was another short-lived series, with three issues published from January to March 1995. Each one of these issues contained a part of a three-part story entitled ''The Rise and Fall of Krustyland'', about
