Bongo Comics, in conjunction with Wizard magazine, ran a contest to create a costumed super-persona for Homer Simpson. The results of that contest appeared in Bartman #3, and the Winners and all those receiving honorable mention have been painstakingly included above.

Itchy & Scratchy Comics #1 ran a contest to "draw the arms" on Itchy & Scratchy, supplying a page with an armless Itchy & Scratchy. Submissions from that contest were printed in Itchy & Scratchy Comics #2 and are included above.

Simpsons Comics #16 ran a contest to "replace the bolt" on Radioactive Man, supplying a page without the lightning bolt on his head. Submissions from that contest were printed in Simpsons Comics #21 and are included above.

For a while Bongo Comics began awarding prizes of signed comics and original art work to the best fan art work submitted and published in Simpsons Comics. Beginning with Simpsons Comics #63 they simply began sending a free signed comic to everyone who had a drawing or letter published in any Simpson comic.

Most drawings were not published with titles but we've nonetheless attempted to supply one. We've tried to reproduce the content of the names and locations exactly, including mistakes, although we decided to always use the two letter abbreviation for states and to spell out foreign countries. If you see any omissions or errors, or errors from the original comic you want corrected, or just to want to expand on anything, please write!  We would love to hear from you.
