The latest addition to Mrs. Puff's boating school is the Flying Dutchman, and SpongeBob is terrified! Will Mrs. Puff finally be rid of her worst student? Find out in 'Driving Dutchman.' And in 'New Guy,' Patrick and SpongeBob make a friend who's a lot of fun, even if he doesn't move or talk at all! But what is his stunning secret? You'll know way before they do. Plus, underground comics legend Gary Hallgren (Air Pirates) designs cool new hot rods for the SpongeBob cast, Ramona Fradon (Metamorpho, Aquaman) draws the adventures of comic-collecting pirates, and Aaron Renier (Walker Bean, Adventure Time) provides a blazing back cover pin-up!

All this is coming to a Comic Store Near YOU on March 13th, 2013!

SPONGEBOB COMICS ANNUAL GIANT SWIMTACULAR #1
Cover:

Roll out the red cape! The SpongeBob Comics Swimtacular celebrates the submarine superheroics of SpongeBob's idols, Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy, in forty-eight all-new pages! First, bear witness to a reunion of Mermaid Man's Golden Age team, the Aquatic Adventurers, in a story we could only call "Lo, There Shall Be a Catered Event," featuring funky flashbacks by Jerry Ordway (Superman)! Then, SpongeBob and Patrick's game of superheroes goes from silly to sillier, when they encounter the quiet-loving super-fiend known only as Mendu! Who could this green, big-nosed, tentacled villain possibly be? Next, legendary Silver Age artist Ramona Fradon (Metamorpho) returns to SpongeBob Comics to draw the never-before-seen Mermaid Man classic "Sidekick Blues," featuring the sinister Controlling Conch and the rarely sighted Edwardian Age Mermaid Man. All this plus a tour of the Mermalair, Plankton and Gary's brief super-careers, spoofs of classic comic book ads, and a double-page spread depicting every Bikini Bottom superhero and villain!
Release date: 6/9/13
Price: $4.99
 
Those few pages were hilarious, and Derek Drymon's art and writing were hilarious! I need to start reading these.
 
From Hilary Barta's blog:



A dark and gritty--yet silly--panel from the Silver Age Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy story by me and Chuck Dixon. It casts a soaking wet shadow on the upcoming issue of SpongeBob Comics, #19, on sale the second Wednesday in April.
 
SpongeBob Comics #19 is out today:



Squidward has moved away with no forwarding address, and SpongeBob and Patrick must scour the globe in search of their best buddy. And what better way to search for a missing friend than taking a long bus trip and yelling 'Squidward' out the window nonstop? It all happens in 'Farewell Squidward!' And in 'Monstah Lobstah Cometh,' Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy remember their first encounter with a deadly, but delicious, foe. All this plus a 4-page doodle comic, a tense shopping moment with Mrs. Puff, and the secret to Squidward's most perfect clarinet performance.
 
Still haven't managed to get my hands on #18 or #19. Really want them both... especially 19 though

When SpongeBob and Patrick use a new bubble formula, they find it can do almost anything - including create exact living duplicates of themselves! Evil twins have never been so transparent or so menacing as they are in 'Bubble Double Trouble'!
Then, in 'See? Dragon!' SpongeBob is convinced he's found a dragon's tooth, but Squidward and Mr. Krabs think he's just finally lost his grip. Does Old Man Jenkins hold the secret to what the tooth really is? Well, yes and no. You'll see.
Also in this issue: a gorgeous Bikini Bottom camping poster by Bob Flynn (Bravest Warriors), SpongeBob's amazing new facial hair, facts about coral reefs, and much more!

All this coming to you on July 10th at the usual price of $2.99!
 
I made sure to get it on FCBD. The art is great and the stories are cute, but I'm sad that Sandy isn't in it. :(

I did like the reference to Cat Woman though. I've been waiting for something similar to happen to Mermaid Man for a while now, considering he's a cross between Aquaman and Batman.
 
I didn't manage to get the free comic on the day because I got there too late, but eBay came to the rescue. Just waiting for it to arrive.


Issue #20 is out today, by the way. :)
 
Someone forgot to post Issue #21!
apr130929.jpg

This issue features a stunning back cover comic painted by legendary MADman Al Jaffee! And inside: The mighty King Neptune has stolen the Krusty Krab and brought it to his legendary palace. Can the combined idiocy of Squidward, Mr. Krabs, and SpongeBob wrest it from Neptune's godly grasp? Find out in 'The Krusty Nabbed!' Next, Sandy is appalled by the horrible inaccuracies rampant in Bikini Bottom's Museum of Land Creatures...but wait until she finds out what they say about squirrels! The fur is flying in 'Landquarium.' Also, Squidward learns the pleasures and pitfalls of earplugs, Gary meets his dream snail, and Plankton paints a portrait of his darling wife! Plus: a fill-in comic and SpongeFunnies by Kochalka!

IN COMIC SHOPS NEAR YOU JUNE 12, 2013.

spongebob23.jpg


Written by Joey Weiser, art by Gregg Schigiel, Israel Sanchez, cover by Jacob Chabot. Meet Jay Lee Huntar -- jellyfish hunter extraordinaire and wearer of pith helmets! In "The Jellyfishing Master," Patrick and SpongeBob can only watch in horror as this interloper's traps capture the entire jelly population of Jellyfish Fields. Who or what can save the jellies -- and SpongeBob's favorite sport? Then in "The Critic," a restaurant reviewer's visit to the Krusty Krab forces SpongeBob to pull out all the stops, kick out the jams, AND go the whole nine yards to make the most amazing Krabby Patties ever. But what can even SpongeBob do when ingredients run out? Also in this issue: SpongeBob runs a race, Patrick grows a mustache, and Sandy learns a thing or two about playing cards with idiots! All this and a beach scene pin-up of Goo Lagoon in the full swing of summer!
32 pages, $2.99
