The definitive cosplay of Marge Simpson amazes with a impossible wig

While Hobby Consoles celebrate its thirtieth anniversary, other pop culture icons, such as the Simpson, did the same, a couple of years ago. The series created by Matt Groening was the protagonist, in fact, from our first cover, and has repeated at number 364 of Hobby Consoles, with Bart Simpson as always as always. While it is true that much of the success weight of the Simpson falls at BART and Homer Simpson, the contrast papers that exercise characters such as Lisa or Marge Simpson have also faraged a good amount of fans The women of the yellow family. Today we are going to focus on Marge Simpson, the family matriark and a counterpart of the madness of Homer.

Then there are what we are still called Ferros (although they are no longer Ferros). Some fotomechanical tests to verify that everything has been mounted correctly (the sheets is a bit mess) and that give us a new possibility of retouching some little thing... The last closure of Hobby Consoles was last Thursday, the number 364, the 30th anniversary number. And yes, it has been a bad closure. Look that lately we had them very controlled, because this has been a number of those who come twisted from the beginning... Always, in each number, there are things that go wrong. Some plan is always twisted, something always happens. Therefore, I always have a plan B, and up to a plan C. In general, when the number goes very well and
