Manga-Style Simpsons Comic from Bongo

Last month spacecoyote announced on her deviantART Journal that she'd been hired by Bongo Comics to do the pencils on a manga-style Simpsons comic book. To the left is her rendition of Lisa Simpson in the style that she'll be using in the comic.

She also mentions that she's been contacted by 20th Century Fox about working on mechandising art for Futurama, in conjunction with the upcoming relaunch of the television series.

These job offers came, of course, as a result of the massive popularity of the manga-style Simpsons and Futurama cast pictures she posted on deviantART:

UltraHomer & AstroBart

One of the purposes of this blog is to showcase pictures of Simpsons characters as superheroes and science fiction and horror icons. This custom action figure of Homer Simpson as Ultraman (sold on eBay last month) reminded me that I hadn't done that in awhile, so...

Below are pictures from the couch gag that appeared in the episodes "'Tis the Fifteenth Season" and "Fraudcast News."

The Simpsons' couch has been replaced with a bench at a Japanese bus stop. The family members, dressed as popular animé characters, fly onscreen and demonstrate their superpowers.

• Homer is Ultraman
• Bart is Astroboy
• Lisa is Sailor Moon
• Marge is Princess from Battle of the Planets
• Maggie is Pikachu from Pokémon.
