Quality over Quantity

Rather than containing a lot of shorts and fillers like the other Simpsons Comics books (which are fun, too), The Best of the Best includes 3 super length comics all of which are very well written, imaginative, and hilarious. Here's what you get:"Comic Cover Caper"-Bart uncovers Comic Book Guy's scam to secure a steady supply of over-priced, defective comic books in his store. Bartman must take on resident bullies Jimbo, Dolph, and Kearny while learning a little about the American market place in the process."Where Stalks the Penalizer!"-Mysterious things are happening to Springfield's vandals, loiterers, and hoodlums. The perpetrator is known to the media simply as "the Penalizer." A defender of justice for everyone (even for those who sometimes beat him up), Bartman pursues this force of disciplinary evil."When Bongos Collide"-Itchy and Scratchy pop out of the Simpsons' television and wreak havoc at the nuclear power plant! You'll never guess the reaction! Super size comic strip of over 60 pages!

Bartman Rules!

It is just like the tv show. If they ever run out of ideas just use stories from the comic book series. My favorite story is the Penzalizer.

It's SUPERIFFIC!

Bartman, The Best of the Best is the Simpsons tailor-made for the superhero fan! Hilarious for fans of American comic books!

Awesome

This book is very good! It is just like the show, but in type!!

Bartman is required reading for Simpson fans!

The Bartman comic books are Groening's best of his Bongo Comics, and the part where Bartman has a crossover with The Simpsons comic book is pure gold--a nuclear explosion makes Springfieldians mutate into either superheroes or supervillains, and the irony of each superpower is hilarious! Don't miss out on this short-lived but extremely clever comic series!!
