Apu Nahasapeemapetilon

The beloved proprietor of the Kwik-E-Mart, Apu Nahasapeemapetilon made his comic book debut in Simpsons Comics #25 in 1996, brought to the page by creators Jamie Angell and Phil Ortiz under the Bongo Comics banner. A fixture of Springfield's Modern Age comic landscape, he turns up across Simpsons Comics, Bongo Comics Free-for-All!, and Simpsons Comics Explosion, sharing those colorful pages with the likes of Bart, Lisa, and Marge Simpson, Barney Gumble, and Groundskeeper Willie. His catalog appearances may be a tightly curated six, but for fans who love Springfield in four-color form, spotting Apu in the mix is always a treat — a warm reminder that Bongo's comics captured the full, bustling ensemble that made this world so irresistible.
