Zongo Comics was a comic book publisher. It was founded and published in 1995 by Simpsons and Futurama creator Matt Groening. Unlike its counterpart Bongo Comics, the comics published were geared towards grown-up audiences containing adult material and did not include any adaptations of Groening's cartoons. The only two titles in the Zongo Comics range were Gary Panter's Jimbo and Mary Fleener's 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.
