BONGO COMICS FOR MARCH

THE SIMPSONS: GET SOME FANCY BOOK LEARNIN' TP

Written and art by Matt Groening.

Gather round for some high-spirited and fortune-filled fables when Matt Groening, the creator of The Simpsons, takes on the world's literary classics! Mount Olympus will never be the same when Homer presents The Iliad and Ned Flanders takes a turn as Aesop. Marge is Persian princess Scheherazade, who must impress the impulsive King Moe-mar Shahryar every night with a story in order to save her own neck. Bart does the Bard, man, when the students of Springfield Elementary perform, measure by measure, virtually every one of William Shakespeare's plays in one midsummer night. From gods to gorgons, the Simpsons put high-minded and high-falutin' literature in its place -- on your favorite bookshelf!

144 pages, $14.99.

FUTURAMA COMICS #48

Written by Boothby, art by Kazaleh.

Doctor Zoidberg leaves the medical profession to pursue his parents' dream for him to become a lawyer, while Bender goes off to fulfill a solo delivery to the White House only to be deemed a traitor by the D.O.O.P. In the meantime, Fry unsuspectingly unleashes a plague of podcast people on New New York City!

SIMPSONS COMICS #164

Written by Dixon, art by Ortiz.

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. However, he's going to have to save his "old bucket of bolts" before it really turns into an old bucket of bolts.

32 pages, $2.99.
