The Simpsons -- the quintessential middle American nuclear family --
have become a cultural icon. Beloved by millions of viewers, the Emmy
Award-winning series made television history by bringing animation back
to prime time, rapidly becoming one of the Fox network's highest-rated
shows.
In this collection of comics, faithful followers can catch up on the
latest goings-on in Springfield, as the Simpson universe leaps from
the screen to the big color comics pages. Ned Flanders, steadfast
citizen and devoted father, has gone on a rampage, committing shocking
crimes (it's not his fault -- he's been kidnapped by aliens). The
Simpsons try out for membership in a biosphere, with catastrophic
results. Then it's off to a new adventure as Bart skateboards headlong
into the evils of the publishing industry, where he learns all about
idea stealing, bad writers and the fleeting interest of editors.
