I’ve never been a big reader of Simpson’s comics. I absolutely love the show and have been a fan for the 20 years they’ve been around, and having lived in a town called Springfield (where there is indeed an Evergreen Terrace, and a Shelbyville isn’t too far away) there’s an added affection. The comic books are just as hilarious as the TV show, with a who’s who of artists having contributed to the series.

The latest instalment of the
Treehouse of Horror issue features an army of indie artists including Jeffrey Brown, but a majority of the artists are from the mound city, the gateway to the west, the drinking city with a baseball problem, that’s right; St. Louis! Master print maker Dan Zettwoch does the cover and is accompanied by other local indie stars as Ted May writing and coloring a story about Moe the bartender in a chapter titled Mo’ Bodies Moe Problems. Kevin Huizenga tackles a very Simpson’s take on the Cthulu mythos in the Call of Vegulu.

Kudos to these guys for landing such a prestigious gig and making such a quality funny book. The Star Clipper crew is very proud of them for putting St. Louis on the map as a center of indie comic creativity.
