Megaton Man and Radioactive Man

I'd love to see an animated Simpsons spinoff that takes place in the world of Radioactive Man -  especially if it took its cues from the excellent Bongo Comics featuring Bart Simpson's favorite hero.  They were created with a true knowledge and love of comics history, with different issues having fun with the conventions of different comic eras.  That's a concept that they could extend to the different types of superhero cartoons that we have seen over the years.

The Simpsons have been renewed for at least two more seasons, pushing them well past the 30-year mark.  While it isn't the must-see show for me that it was in its first five years or so, I still find myself laughing out loud a couple of times per episode.  It's a testament to the strength of the characters and world that Matt Groening created that the show has stood the test of time so well.

Even if you aren't a huge Simpsons fan, it is definitely worth checking out the various Radioactive Man comics from Bongo if you love comic books.  The Simpsons has always been a comic friendly show, but the Radioactive Man comics are where the passion for the medium really comes out.  They are chock full of references to classic characters, story lines, quotes and artistic styles from the comic books we all grew up loving.  They are pretty darn funny as well!  It's clear that the creators of these stories are huge fans of the genre.

This issue marks the end of an era for The Lost Issues.  This will be the final cover created with MS Paint.  Beginning tomorrow, all covers will be created with Photoshop.  April 4 will mark the Three Year point for The Lost Issues and with over 850 covers, I am glad that I got the opportunity to show some of what was possible with a relatively simple program like Paint, even if many of the early attempts were pretty rough.  It's time to move forward though, and Photoshop has rejuvenated me.  I will caution against expecting any immediate leap in quality though - tomorrow's cover was literally created the day I downloaded PS.  So please be patient as I go through my growing pains while learning the bells and whistles of this cool new tool.

As always, thanks for following and hopefully the best is yet to come!
