  • Big Book of Bart Simpson

    Matt Groening

    Paperback (Harper Design, July 9, 2002)
    Bart Simpson, America's favourite underachiever, lays claim to his own comic collection. In an homage to the comics he enjoyed as a kid (such as Little Lulu and Peanuts), Matt Groening presents stories about Bart and the kids of Springfield with adults taking a backseat as comic foils. Big Book of Bart Simpson features several short stories that can be enjoyed by a younger reading audience, but there are plenty of laughs for kids of all ages. It's good old–fashioned fun with the same satiric edge that has made 'The Simpsons' the most successful animated program in television history.
