The Simpsons -- the quintessential middle American nuclear family -- have become a cultural icon. Beloved by millions of viewers, the Emmy Award-winning series made television history by bringing animation back to prime time, rapidly becoming one of the Fox network's highest-rated shows. In this collection of comics, faithful followers can catch up on the latest goings-on in Springfield, as the Simpson universe leaps from the screen to the big color comics pages. Ned Flanders, steadfast citizen and devoted father, has gone on a rampage, committing shocking crimes (it's not his fault -- he's been kidnapped by aliens). The Simpsons try out for membership in a biosphere, with catastrophic results. Then it's off to a new adventure as Bart skateboards headlong into the evils of the publishing industry, where he learns all about idea stealing, bad writers and the fleeting interest of editors.

Bart Simpson is back with another big book of bust–a–gut belly laughs. Following the great success of Big Book of Bart Simpson, join Bart in this second installation of the Bart Comic Compilations as he defies authority, ducks school and, as Bartman, fights crime. From the Wild West to the sewers of Springfield, Bart Simpson will lead you on a merry chase in pursuit of hilarity. As for the rest of the kids in Springfield: Lisa Simpson shows off her investigative skills, Milhouse takes on the school bullies, and Ralph Wiggum gives you a day in his cock–eyed life.
