Homer Simpson
Few comic characters carry the weight of a cultural phenomenon quite like Homer Simpson, whose print adventures kicked off in 1991 courtesy of Jerry De Fuccio, Lou Silverstone, and Frank Borth — right at the dawn of the Modern Age, when the Simpsons craze was sweeping everything in its path. Published primarily through Bongo Comics, Homer has anchored Simpsons Comics for over three decades, sharing those colorful Springfield pages with Bart, Marge, Lisa, Maggie, and the one-and-only Krusty the Clown. With 65 catalog appearances spanning all the way to 2025 — including two collector-recognized key issues — and even a surprising turn in Savage Dragon, this is a comics run with remarkable staying power. Whether you're a die-hard Bongo devotee or simply a fan of one of pop culture's most enduring families, Homer's comic book legacy is absolutely worth a spot on your shelf.
