Matt Groening, creator and executive producer of Fox’s Emmy Award®-winning series The Simpsons, made television history by bringing animation back to primetime and creating an immortal nuclear family. The Simpsons is the longest running primetime animated series in television history and is currently the longest-running comedy on television, having aired more than 400 episodes. In July 2007, the highly anticipated feature film The Simpsons Movie opened in theaters with worldwide grosses of more than $525 million to date.

Originally brought to life in 1987 for The Tracey Ullman Show, The Simpsons was Groening’s amazing entry into the television animation world. Previously, he was best-known for his “Life in Hell” cartoon strip, an irreverent portrayal of love, work, school, life and relationships that currently appears in more than 250 newspapers worldwide and in a multitude of books.

Groening’s other Emmy-Award®-winning creation, Futurama, launched on Fox in March 1999 and ran for five seasons. Last year Fox released the direct-to-DVD full-length original feature Futurama: Bender’s Big Score. Three additional films will be released and the entire series with new episodes will air on Comedy Central this year.

In 1993, Groening formed Bongo Comics Group, where he serves as publisher of The Simpsons Library of Wisdom, Simpsons Episode Guides, Simpsons Comics, Bart Simpson Comics, Radioactive Man Comics, Simpsons Comics Treasure Trove, the annual Bart Simpson’s Treehouse of Horror, Futurama Comics, more than 36 comic compilations, as well as instant classics including Bart Simpsons Guide to Life, The Simpsons Handbook, and The Simpsons Uncensored Family Album among others!

In addition to the many awards bestowed on his creations (including Emmys, Annies, and the prestigious Peabody Award), Groening was personally honored with the Rueben Award for Outstanding Cartoonist of the Year, the highest honor presented by the National Cartoonist Society. To date there are more than 14 million copies of books from HarperCollins in print throughout North America, the UK, and Australia based on The Simpsons, Futurama, and Life in Hell.

Matt Groening is Great

I first became familiar with Matt Groening's work by seeing and reading his Life in Hell cartoons in the Washington City Paper. I managed to meet him at a book signing in Washington DC, and I think he is a delightful person as well as a genius. Was delighted when his little Simpson cartoons on the Tracy Ullman show exploded into the longest running program on television. Am now also a big fan of Futurama, another wonderfully clever show, ignored by too many because they "don't watch cartoons."

My recent purchase of Love is Hell was as a Valentine's Day present. Can you think of a better one?

Wry, Keenly Observant and Insightful, and Hilariously Funny (Comic/Cartoon) Book

Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2015

Great book arrived in "Excellent" condition although reported to be in "Very Good" condition. Thanks for this wonderful book, in excellent condition, at such a competitive price. Short book review: Even if you are in the death throes of a terminally ill relationship, your food tastes like sawdust, and you awake from elusive sleep to a floodgate of tears brought on by overwhelming sadness and loss of love or what you thought was love...this wry, keenly observant and insightful, and hilariously funny (comic/cartoon) book will help you make your way through the dark tunnel to the light.
