Superstar cartoonist Sergio Aragones will become a regular contributor to Bongo’s Bart Simpson comics, beginning with #50.  Aragones has work in every issue of Mad Magazine (except one) since 1963 and every major award in cartooning and comics. 

 

Bart Simpson #50 will be a special all-Aragones issue, with every story and the cover by the artist.  Among the features in #50 will be “The Simpsons Project,” an eleven-page main story; and “Maggie’s Crib,” a new regular feature in the vein of his “A Mad Look At…” feature in Mad.  After his premiere in Bart Simpson #50, Aragones will contribute to Bart Simpson comics and other Bongo Comics Group titles on a regular basis. 

 

Bongo Comics Creative Director Bill Morris warned that this combination “may result in more comedy than the average reader can safely handle. I predict it’ll be just like that movie The Perfect Storm, only hilarious.”
