Thought we might as well discuss them all in one topic. If you find any comics (english translated or not) that aren't on the page linked to at the end of this post, please share your find here. 
My favorite is absolutely The Shooting Star. It's just too cute!!
Simba appears to be much younger in it than in the film, or at least I can't imagine a ten year old chasing a fairytale like that, plus he calls Mufasa Daddy instead of Dad.
I love the way that one is drawn too. Some of the comics drawing style is adorable.
Other favourites are The Orphaned Birds. It's hilarious when Simba tries to teach them to fly and flaps his front legs like wings and then the baby birds mimic him by swinging their legs. xD
And I also love the one where Mufasa teaches Simba to avoid dangers of savannah by studying shadows on the ground, and the one where he scolds Simba for bullying ants and his words cause Simba to have a nightmare about giant ants. The thing is, up until the scene where Mufasa lead the kingdom to flee from them, I thought the comic might actually be serious, but at that point I knew it was a dream. x)
I enjoy the comics awful lot. Most of them are really creative, well drawn and interesting. Even though they're naturally not canon or even semi-canon, it's awesome to read about Simba's childhood's everyday life. I always wished they'd have shown more of that in the film, but of course they couldn't as the plot needed to forward.
Some of the TLK comics are here.
