Bongo Comics Group is a comic book publishing company founded in 1993 by Matt Groening along with Steve & Cindy Vance and Bill Morrison.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bongocomics.com/legend-bongo )〕 It publishes comics related to the animated television series ''The Simpsons'' and ''Futurama'', as well as providing distribution services for the ''SpongeBob SquarePants'' comic; along with original material. It was named after Bongo, a rabbit character in Groening's comic strip ''Life in Hell''. Bongo has, at some time in its history, printed ''Simpsons Comics'', ''Simpsons Comics and Stories'', ''Futurama Comics'', ''Krusty Comics'', ''Lisa Comics'', ''Bart Simpson'', ''Bartman'', ''Itchy & Scratchy Comics'' and ''Radioactive Man''. Zongo Comics, also created by Groening, was Bongo Comics' counterpart geared towards older audiences. ==History== Groening launched Bongo Comics Group in 1993, perceiving a lack of funny books in the comic book industry at the time: "I go into comic book stores and look at all the stuff, and, for the most part, it looks like fairly grim science-fiction and superhero stuff ... I guess I just thought there was room out there for funny comic books." The company launched four titles, the bi-monthly ''Simpsons Comics'' and ''Radioactive Man Vol. 1'', and the thrice-annually ''Itchy & Scratchy Comics'' and ''Bartman''.〔 Groening hoped that the new company would revitalise the industry, and held discussions to publish cross-overs with characters from other publishing companies.〔 The comics use original story-lines rather than simply adapt episodes of the television series, although in 2011 editor Bill Morrison explained that the stories "fit in with the continuity of the shows." The company launched ''Futurama Comics'', based on the cartoon series of the same name in 2000. 2012 saw the company change their logo, and a new creative director was unveiled, with Nathan Kane promoted internally to replace the departing Bill Morrison. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bongo Comics Group」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
