Dynamite Entertainment has announced that is bringing two of the 80s’ grossest brands together for an epic crossover in the limited series Madballs vs. Garbage Pail Kids from writer Sholly Fisch (Star Wars, Scooby-Doo) and Topps’ Garbage Pail Kids artist Jason Crosby.
“Garbage Pail Kids and Madballs share much of the same ‘twisted’ DNA; an irreverent 80’s sensibility, outrageous artwork and loyal fan bases that remain passionate to this day,” said Ira Friedman of Topps. “It comes as no surprise that the anticipation and excitement for this comics crossover is off the charts.”
“Madballs vs Garbage Pail Kids has been one of my favorite projects to-date,” added Carlos Villagra, Creative Director of Cloudco Entertainment. “Growing up with these gross, wacky, nasty brands in the 80s, and then being able to bring them to life through an awesome collaboration with Dynamite – the whole experience has really been a dream come true.”
“We can’t wait for fans to get their hands on this crossover bursting with energy,” stated Nick Barrucci, Dynamite CEO and Publisher. “We promise the comic book doesn’t drip with slime, but maybe we should figure out how to make that happen!”
