July 7, Mt. Laurel, NJ: Dynamite announces a special limited time offer for fans of Garbage Pail Kids, with the collected graphic novels of the latest series available for advance orders on the company's website, with exclusive trading card add-ons included. Fans can place their orders on this page now!
Readers can get the trade paperbacks for Garbage Pail Kids: Origins and Madballs vs. Garbage Pail Kids. These two critically acclaimed titles offer the gross-out fun that fans of the franchise have come to expect and love, from two unique angles. Plus, this limited time direct offer will be the only way to get exclusive trading cards!
GPK: Origins is an unprecedented deep dive into the backstories of nearly 40 year old beloved characters, threads that have only been hinted at through the years. Most famously, a series of art pieces by longtime GPK mainstay Jeff Zapata have consistently gone viral among the fanbase like wildfire. The seeds of those ideas, alongside co-writers Adam F. Goldberg and Hans Rodionoff, and artist Chris Meeks led to this historic comic! Learn how Adam Bomb became the mysterious exploding-head hero we all know and love, and the early evil of Nasty Nick!
On the other hand, the GeePeeKay gang are also taking on another fan-favorite group of gross-out guys and gals in the Madballs for an epic crossover! Written by all-ages maestro Sholly Fisch, with art by Jason Crosby, and covers by one of the most legendary Garbage Pail Kids contributors in Joe Simko - it's a can't-miss clash! The two crews have been co-ruling a corner of counterculture with their pun-heavy names, subversive humor, and inventive art and design, and now it's time to pit them against each other!
Each book is available in four variations, as a paperback, a hardcover, and the hardcover either signed or remarqued by an artist. All four iterations of Origins feature a unique cover too! The Origins volumes will feature a remarqued bookplate by artist Ken Haeser, while the crossover tome features remarques by Jason Crosby.
In addition to the graphic novels, fans will get 10 limited edition Garbage Pail Kids promotional trading cards for their collection. Each paperback comes with one exclusive card, the hardcovers with two each, the signed editions with three, and the remarqued versions with five. Collectors who go for the ultimate set of both remarqued volumes will get the full 10 card set — and one card guaranteed to be signed by GPK origins writers Adam F. Goldberg and Hans Rodionoff!
