Bart Simpsons Horror Show

From 2003 to 2012, Panini Deutschland released 15 issues of Bart Simpson's Horror Show, a German-published comic that brought a macabre, Halloween-flavored twist to the Springfield universe. Most frequently written by Len Wein and illustrated by the likes of Bill Morrison and Bernie Wrightson, the series stands out as a unique European collaboration that paired classic Simpsons humor with genuinely creepy, atmospheric horror art. It matters as a curious, cult-favorite oddity in the franchise's publishing history, offering a darker, more mature take on beloved characters that American readers rarely saw.
