Simpsons Comics Strike Back

Simpsons Comics #15-18

by Matt Groening

It's another sidesplitting series of adventures as America's most popular cartoon family returns to the big colorful comic pages in this latest addition to the bestselling Simpsons anthologies. In Simpsons Comics Strike Back , Groening fans are treated to another laugh-fest as they catch up on the latest antics of this irrepressibly irreverent family. First, it's a yuck-filled yarn of yore when Grampa Simpson reminisces about the good old days of the Depression. Then Patty and Selma take to the air as flight attendants, and the friendly skies will never be the same. Next, the network wars have come to town, and the big boys are running scared from the BBC -- the Bart Broadcasting Channel. Then last, but certainly not least, it's an epic brawl as the Presidential Fitness Program dispatches McBain to Springfield to whip the cholesterol-clogged town into shape. Between him and success, however, is hungry Homer Simpson. When the TV show just isn't enough, fans turn to the comic books to satiate their Simpsons addiction. A veritable bonanza of the characteristic wit that made the series an international hit, this anthology will be a treasured gift for all fans of Bart, Lisa, Maggie, Homer and Marge.

I am behind on my reading goal, so hello graphic novel! Plus, it’s The Simpsons.

[Ashleigh]

It was funny at points but the humour was very dated and dry at points.

[Cath Baker]

[Malcolm Cox]

Another collection of Simpsons adventures stuffed full of bonus content. Well worth a read for fans of The Simpsons.

[Jamie]

Gave this a go, but probably the least appealing Simpsons comic I’ve read so far. Just didn’t hook me much or humour me either. Not got much else to say about it….

[Jiří Böhm]

Nic k tomu nemám. Ale předchozí díly lepší...

[Rocio Hague]

fast read

[Connor]

This book was fair. Simpsons Comics Strike Back is not a book I liked and enjoyed a lot but I did not hate it. On the good side, this book was funny and lots of humorous jokes I enjoyed. I wouldn't recommend this to anybody that like thicker novels. But anyone who rather likes comics instead of thicker novels may enjoy this book.
