Waylon Smithers

Waylon Smithers made his comics debut in Simpsons Comics #5 in 1994, brought to the page by creators Steve Vance and Bill Morrison under the Bongo Comics banner — right as the Springfield universe was hitting its pop-culture stride. A fixture of the Modern Age Simpsons comics landscape, he shares pages with the full Simpson family and the formidable Mr. Burns across titles like Simpsons Comics and Simpsons Comics Explosion. His catalog appearances may be select, but for fans who love the layered, character-rich world of Springfield in comic form, spotting Smithers in the mix is always a treat.
