Who is Bart Simpson?

Bart Simpson is the mischievous, skateboarding eldest son of Homer and Marge Simpson, originating from the hit animated TV series before appearing in Bongo Comics publications. He is a perpetual ten-year-old troublemaker attending Springfield Elementary.

Few characters bridge the gap between TV phenomenon and genuine comics institution quite like Bart Simpson, who made his comic book debut in Cracked #260 in 1991 β€” a Copper/Modern Age entry crafted by Jerry De Fuccio, Lou Silverstone, and Frank Borth. Over more than three decades, Bart has anchored Bongo's Simpsons Comics alongside the full Springfield crew β€” Homer, Marge, Lisa, Maggie, and loyal pal Milhouse Van Houten β€” building a comics legacy that stands apart from the animated series that made him a household name. With 55 catalog appearances, at least one recognized key issue, and a run stretching all the way to 2024, this is a character whose comic book life rewards collectors who look beyond the screen.
