Bart Simpson

A curious corner of comics history, this Bart Simpson made their debut in Iron Man #7 in 1999 under the Panini Deutschland banner, courtesy of a creative team that included Jim Lee, Scott Lobdell, Whilce Portacio, and Ryan Benjamin. Appearing across a small but eclectic handful of titles — from Der sensationelle Spider-Man to Simpsons Comics — this character occupies a genuinely offbeat niche in the Copper/Modern Age landscape. With only four catalog appearances spanning into the mid-2000s, sharing pages with the likes of Iron Man, Daredevil, and Matt Murdock alongside Homer and Maggie Simpson, this is the kind of wonderfully unexpected publishing oddity that makes digging through the back-issue bins such a joy for devoted collectors.
