Grampa Simpson

Abe 'Grampa' Simpson is Homer's elderly father, a Korean War veteran and resident of the Springfield Retirement Castle known for his rambling, tall-tale reminiscences and cantankerous yet warm relationship with the extended Simpson family.

Abe "Grampa" Simpson shuffled his way into comics with Simpsons Comics #5 in 1994, brought to the page by Steve Vance and Bill Morrison for Bongo's beloved line of Springfield-set adventures. A Modern Age fixture, he's spent thirty years sharing panels with the whole Simpson clan — Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie — bringing his signature blend of rambling reminiscence and gruff warmth to the funny pages. For fans of the Springfield universe who want to see every corner of that world explored in ink and color, Grampa is a cherished piece of the puzzle.
