Simpsons Illustrated #27
In "Hotfoot in the Park," Lisa takes a bold step beyond the classroom, launching a science-themed carnival that blends curiosity with fun. Meanwhile, Bart uncovers a misleading comic book ad that sparks a protest, and Homer dives headfirst into forming a volunteer fire department—each Springfield resident chasing their own brand of heroics. Written by Ian Boothby and brought to life with vibrant art by Phil Ortiz, inks by Mike DeCarlo, colors by Art Villanueva, and letters by Karen Bates, this 2017 Bongo Comics issue captures the town’s chaotic charm with humor and heart. The cover, by Jason Ho and Mike Rote, perfectly captures the zany energy of the issue.
