Simpsons Comics Colossal Compendium Volume 1

"Start off with a little ring-a-ding-ding from the new "King of Cool" Professor Frink, some harmless daydreaming from Bart's pal Milhouse, some bedtime nursery rhyming with Maggie Simpson, and a bit of back-in-the-day reminiscing from Mr. Burns. Even a tyke-sized Homer tries his hand at some magical wishing, and Ralph Wiggum does a little role modeling. Then, Sideshow Bob goes slumming to exact his revenge, Bart sets about reinvigorating his favorite superhero comic magazine, and Homer thinks he's seeing double when he discovers another brother from yet another mother"--Page 4 of cover.

The Simpsons are living large and in charge with the most explosive colossal yet! Bart goes to work on the railroad; Homer stretches the boundaries of his mind and tries to color inside the lines; Lisa feels the good vibrations when Karma-Con comes to town; Grampa Simpson tells it like it is, was, or might have been; Pieman and Bartman take on both friends and foes alike; and to top it off, the Springfield Bear Patrol returns in their final and furriest adventure! And don’t go ballistic while trying to build your very own Herman’s Military Antiques store.
