Simpsons Comics Barn Burner #[nn]
In "How the Vest Was Won!", Homer Simpson takes a wild leap into the world of boy bands, assembling a group of Springfield's misfit boys—none of whom can actually sing—hoping to ride the wave of pop fame. The only exception? Ralph Wiggum, whose unexpected talent might just be the key to their unlikely success. Written by Eric Rogers and illustrated by Phil Ortiz, with inks by Tim Bavington, colors by Art Villanueva, and letters by Karen Bates, this 2005 HarperCollins comic features a cover by Kevin M. Newman and Bill Morrison, with inks by Mike Rote and Jason Ho.
