Big Bratty Book of Bart Simpson #[nn]

Springfield's favorite underachiever bursts onto the scene in this 2004 HarperCollins collection, with Bart Simpson literally tearing through the cover — grinning ear to ear as comic panels explode around him in a burst of pure cartoon energy. The cover, penciled and inked by Matt Groening himself, captures Bart mid-mischief with that unmistakable gap-toothed smirk and spiky hair front and center. Inside, stories like "O Bart, Where Art Thou?" — brought to life by writer Sherri Smith, artist Mike Rote, inker Scott McRae, colorist Art Villanueva, and letterer Karen Bates — promise the kind of bratty fun that made this kid a household name.
