On Free ComicBook Day I picked up Bongo Comics Free For All aka the Simpsons comic. So I thought even though it's not Thursday yet we'll talk some Simpsons. First of all the cover is full of all sorts of awesome. It depicts Bart and his school chums running to a leprechaun's pot of gold full of comics. The comics have awesome names like Biclops, Superior Squad, Space Mutant Chronicles, Weasel Woman, Captain Squid, Radioactive Ape, House of Plasmo, Lil Kneesocks, True Larva, Leopard Lady, Quest Time, and more. There are leprechauns guarding the comics pot and one of them bears a striking resemblance to Comicbook guy. The first story in this free Simpsons anthology follows Bart and Milhouse as they attempt to get super powers. Milhouse is experimented on by Bart as they explore the accidental ways super heroes get their powers ala Spider-man and the Fantastic Four. Milhouse takes a beating in this short but it's okay because he's just Milhouse. ...

Episode 7F21 Original Airdate: May 9th, 1991 Writer: Jeff Martin Director: Wes M. Archer Commentary by: Matt Groening, Jeff Martin, Al Jean, and Mike Reiss Synopsis When Bart finds out at Springfield's annual comicon that the local comic book store has a copy of Radioactive Man #1 for $100, he becomes hellbent on raising the money himself. Just when he's ready to give up, he serendipitously happens upon Milhouse and Martin, each with roughly 1/3rd of the $100 needed for the comic. They all throw in and buy the rare collectible but they soon find that they've "bought more than [they] bargained for."
