[.ca] The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror Fun-Filled Frightfest (ISBN 0060560703)

A FREE LUNCH:
Although a little uneven, this, the latest print edition to THE SIMPSONS TREEHOUSE OF HORROR featuring all new original artwork and stories, is still an entertaining and very funny book. Rarely is it really scary, but there are some truly inspired moements (MOE'S URBAN TALES OF TERROR: #62: THE PHANTOM GIRLFRIEND!!), visual gags and some daring plots (REASONS TO AVOID A ZOMBIE-RUN RESTURANT and HELL-O-WEEN, the last and best story of the entire book) are to be found inside. A major draw for these stories is the often new and original take on both the artwork and the actual look of the Simpsons. Artists are given free regin here to play with the look and style of The Simpsons, as well as placing them in odd and strange situations (even more odd and strange than even the television series is allowed to go). While third in the series, it shows no sign of getting old or growing stale. Perhaps not the best TREEHOUSE ever, but still remarkable and highly recommdned.
