The Comic Book Guy’s Book of Pop Culture: The Simpsons Library of Wisdom (E) - Hardcover

The latest release from the best-selling Simpsons Library of Wisdom series.

Resident of Springfield and owner of the Android’s Dungeon & Baseball Card Shop, the infamous Comic Book Guy spends his days at the comfort of his stool, patiently awaiting his next paying customer. The Comic Book guy embodies all the traits of your typical comic book shop owner, being tubby, and wearing his brown hair in a pony tail. He is also known for being extremely sarcastic. Being a sci-fi, comic and movie buff, the Comic Book Guy holds several prized collectibles: a rare copy of Mary Worth, in which Mary advises a friend to commit suicide, as well as his rare photo of Sean Connery, signed by Roger Moore.

In some scenarios, the Comic Book Guy can be found sporting his alter-ego, “The Collector”, a menacing superhero with the intention of finding the most sought-after collectible! (The Collector makes his first appearance in the Treehouse of Horror X Halloween special).

Matt Groening, the creator and executive producer of the Emmy Award-winning series “The Simpsons” and “Futurama”. He lives in Los Angeles, California.
