I don't make a habit out of reading comics, and never have. I usually just stick to books, comics have never really appealed to me as far as something that I can sit down with for awhile. However I did dip into my friend's Simpsons comics whilst at his house last year... I don't quite remember what the comic was called, but I found the story mildly interesting and was let down when I couldn't find the discarded comic the next day.

All I remember was that Dr. Hibbert discovered the "Flanders birthmark" on Bart, and it was suggested that perhaps Bart and Rod were exchanged at birth. This resulted in Rod living in the Simpson household, and Bart at the Flanders house.

During the course of Rod's stay with the Simpsons, he and Lisa found out that they had a lot in common, and got along much better as brother and sister than she and Bart ever had... so when it was revealed that the "Flanders birthmark" found on Bart was nothing more than chewing gum, Lisa was quite let down.

That's all that I can remember, although I know there was more. Hence my disappointment about not being able to find it the next day Ah, well.

Yay, I like Simpsons-Comics a lot, I have all from 40 - today! And I got paper bags for the older comics. So I do know every single comic. I love the story with Lisa getting a poet and fighting in an poet contest against Martin. Really heartful, even for a simple comic. Liked it very much. ^_^

YAY! I'm glad people like this topic and I am glad that I am not the only one that reads Simpsons comics! I like the one where lisa and martin have poetry competitions against each other too. It is very funny and I like the way it ends. i read that one in the Simpsons comics Ago-Go, which is a digest sized paper back. Keep writing about your favourite comics, and ask questions if you need to. I'm sure that someone out there will be able to answer them!!!

I was collecting both English and Russian versions some time ago. It was interesting, I must admit... there is a difference between the Simpsons episodes and comics, even official ones. Characters are usually put in much more weird and unusual situations, there are moments we'd hardly see in the show. Several issues were just brilliant to me, for example, that Halloween issue (don't remember the #), where Simpsons family was assisting Frodo Baggins in his Ring adventure. The moment when Marge has cured the Evil Eye, made me laugh.

There *is* one Lisa comic - "Lisa in Wordland" (a parody to Alice in Wonderland, I guess). I have its scanned copy - btw, you can download it here, from the "Lisa Comics" folder. It wasn't bad at all, but wasn't fantastic either. Just a nice comic with Lisa and her cat as main characters.

If you liked the link, better download stuff fast, because the hosting will be down in a week or two (the hosting has expired 1,5 months ago, but for some reason they prolonged it for 60 more days. They think I will pay... )
And about Bill Morrison-signed Lisa Comic... why you little

I have read a really interesting Simpsons comic. It is called 'Milhouse the Man, Krusty in the Can, and the Great Springfield Frink-Out'. It is about Professor Frink causing damage to the space time continuum. Characters swap rolls with others. For example, Bart becomes the sidekick while Milhouse is the coolest guy in school. Lisa is a B grade student and due to Marge and Homer divorcing in this reality, Bart is a Simpson while Lisa takes her father's name (Ziff). That is enough spoiling but if you get a chance I suggest that you read it!

Actually, that's a little wrong. Marge and Homer haven't actually met until the end of the comic, Bart is Homer's kid yeah, but Lisa has no relation to Homer, nor does Bart to Marge. Homer and Mindy (who is Homer's wife in this reality) had Bart and Maggie, while Marge and Artie (who's Marge's husband) had Lisa. And both couples actually divorced recently.

So the furthest the relationship between Bart and Lisa can go is Step Brother/Sister.

Oh and dont forget to watch Late Night with George Meyer.

My Simpsons Comic collection is still growing. Last friday, I got Simpsons Comics Unchained in finnish translation at mail to my home. My favorite story is the "El Grampo" story.

same with me Sylenne, i do sometimes read comics but they dont do much for me. I did get hold of a pristene Lisa comic however, mainly to start my collection, not had any money to buy and simpsons releated merchandise since lol.

Wow, I haven't seen that comic before, I must keep an eye out for it. It sounds very interesting.

New paperbacks usually come out once a year, generally around January. There's a load of them if you search Amazon. The paperbacks are pretty close to catching up to the standard editions now.

Almost same thing here - but I guess it's normal, comics are made for lazy time-spending, not for really enjoying the process Most of the Simpsons comics I've seen, didn't have any really good plot, they were more interesting as a part of the Simpsons merchandise to me.
