The Bart Code


<< Guide Index

The first four Bongo Comics released were each issued in three versions;
  The first version of each comic included a special feature (poster, silver cover, glow cover)
  The second version had a standard bar code, and...
  ...the third version, shown below, had a Bart code - a section of Bart's head.

Bartman #3 with Bart code Bartman #3  - Version #2   (Aug 1994)

However...

Here we have another cover with a Bart code, on the cover of Bartman #3. Rumours of still another comic with a Bart code has circulated (perhaps unfounded!) but we would love to hear from anyone who can provide additional information!
