“Bartkira is a community art project in which hundreds of artists from all over the world are collaborating to recreate all six volumes of Akira, replacing all the characters with the cast of the Simpsons.”

Currently, Volumes 1 and 2 are available to read on the Bartkira web page while the Bartkira Tumblr page has several art submissions. Below are a few examples of this amazing work:

Thank you Sam.
