Simpsons Comics #83

In "The Homer Effect," Homer Simpson’s life takes a bizarre turn after a radioactive spider bite during a power plant mishap injures Bart and Milhouse. Now fired and working at the Lard Lad Donut Factory, Homer may be the unlikeliest hero Springfield needs to navigate an unexpected economic crisis. Written by David Slack and illustrated by John Costanza, with inks by Howard Shum, colors by Art Villanueva, and letters by Karen Bates, this 2003 Bongo Comics adventure blends classic Simpsons humor with a touch of the absurd. The cover, by Bill Morrison and Mike Rote, captures the moment with a mix of chaos and doughy charm.
