The following is a press release by Titan Publishing - who will soon release the Futurama Comics in the UK - from 09/25/02:

Are you ready for the next generation in comics from the gang that brought you The Simpsons? Direct from the insane brain of Matt Groening comes Futurama – the tale of Fry, the pizza delivery boy who wakes up in the 30th Century to find a very different hometown called New New York.

Titan Publishing is excited to bring you the latest incarnation of fun in the form of the official Futurama Comics! With the same kind of wit and character that makes The Simpsons the best-loved children’s TV show in the country, Futurama Comics is sure to be huge!

Every issue we bring you the best from Fry, Leela and the inimitable Bender – the only robot who will drink you under the table then steal your wallet. Aimed at a similar market to Simpsons Comics, this is sure to be a hit thanks to the anarchic comedy and excellent artwork.

With toe-curling competitions and brilliant reader contributions, it’s time to say hello to the future because it’s officially here!
