Zongo Comics
Zongo Comics was founded and published in 1995 by "Simpsons" and "Futurama" creator Matt Groening. Unlike its counterpart Bongo Comics, the comics published were geared towards older audiences containing adult material and did not include any adaptations of Groening's cartoons. The only two titles in the Zongo Comics range were "Jimbo" and "Fleener". Zongo Comics did not last as long as its sister group, and the range was cancelled after the series failed to attract a wide audience. Because the Zongo "Jimbos" were not very popular when they came out, Zongo/Bongo printed less of each issue . By issue 6, they only printed 500. Because only ten Zongo Comics were ever published, they are well sought after by collectors due to their rarity. Gary Panter's graphic novel "Jimbo in Purgatory" is thought of as #8 in this series but it was not published by Zongo. Publishing list. Section::::"Jimbo". The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (MOCA) displayed Gary Panter's work, including his "Jimbo" series as part of the Masters of American Comics exhibition. The exhibition was held from November 20, 2005, through March 12, 2006. The Masters of American Comics explored the rise of newspaper  comic strips and comic books while considering their artistic development throughout the century. Postcards of the covers of Gary Panter's "Jimbo" comics were available in the MOCA gift shop. During the 1995 San Diego Comic-Con the Bongo Comics booth gave out three Zongo Comic 1-1/2 promo buttons.
