In "Worst Competition Ever!", Homer and Bart stumble upon Grampa’s vintage comic collection and decide to open their own comic book store—only to find they’ve accidentally outdone the one and only Comic Book Guy, whose business is now in jeopardy. Written by Eric Rogers and illustrated by John Costanza, with colors by Art Villanueva and letters by Karen Bates, this quirky tale captures the chaos of small-town rivalry with a side of family mischief. The cover, by Jason Ho and Mike Rote, perfectly captures the absurd energy of the Springfield comic scene.
