Barta Bart Art


© 2011 Bongo Entertainment, Inc. The Simpsons TM & © Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation. All rights reserved.

This is the 8 1/2 X 11" pencil rough for a page the Simpsons story Metal as Anything. This witty 12-pager by writer Ian Boothby stars Bart as Bartman, along with the entire Simpsons family as a Bongo version of some metallic heroes you might be familiar with. The inks were done by Andrew Pepoy, and the story appears in the Simpsons Super Spectacular #12, out now.

I'm currently working on another story starring Bart and Apu set in the Kwik-E-Mart.

Thank you, sir.

I'm definitely tracking down a copy of this one. But why aren't YOU doing the inks!?

Gianmaria Caschetto said...

this is great, Mr Nowlan asking Barta why isn't he inking. but he's kind of right. I mean, Mr, Barta, you're quite the inker...

Ha! I'm a hack! It was partly a deadline thing, but also an attempt to get my stories closer to the Bongo house style. And Andrew did a great job, too. But due to deadlines I'm currently inking the next Bart story myself, so go figure.

a.sim...not Alistair Sim, by any chance? Sorry I'm responding so late, but I just read your comment. Bongo keeps all the art to the Simpsons comics so I have no originals to sell. But thanks for asking.
