Ralph Wiggum Comics #1   (Feb 2012) In the first of Bongo Comics' soon to be legendary Simpson Comics One-Shot Wonders, Ralph Wiggum takes center stage. In his first solo outing, Ralph has a day off of school, is left home alone, and becomes a role model to a new kid in town. Add in some short features by Sergio Aragonés and watch the chaos ensue!
	This issue had five different covers, varying the "cover quip" by Ralph. See below!

I'M A COMIC BOOK!	I'M IN MINT CONDITIONER!	IT'S MY FIRST TISSUE!	DADDY SAYS "PRINT IS DEAD!"	"RALPH" MEANS THROW UP!  (Mar 2012)

The first issue of One-Shot Wonders, Ralph Wiggum Comics #1, had five different covers varying the "word bubble" as noted above (or "cover quip" as Bongo described it). To add to the difficulty of acquiring the five variations each seller only received a single variation and three of the variations were only available in comic book stores (via Diamond distributors) and two were only available from book stores, newsstands and other outlets (Direct Editions). Bongo Comics also ran a contest at this point indicating "The first person to submit a photo (or photos) of themself [sic] holding all five Ralph Wiggum Comics #1 covers, will be "Simpsonized" by our infamous Bongo bullpen and immortalized in an upcoming issue of Simpsons or Bart Simpson comics. Your choice!" At tne end of March 2012 Bongo announced the winner was Sam Young - and we'll extend his five minutes of fame here! A Sam Young from Little Falls, MN previously had three letters published in Junk Mail in Simpsons Comics starting in 1996. Congrats!

Li'l Homer #1   (Jul 2012) Long before Bart Simpson appeared on the scene, Springfield had its own original "bad boy"... the dim but adorable Li'l Homer. And you can be sure wherever Li'l Homer goes, trouble follows. Whether he's just trying to fly a kite, searching for a lost donut, or matching wits with a real mean genie, Li'l Homer always comes out on top! "Li'l Homey" also appeared on the flip cover of Simpsons Comics #24.
