Due to the success of The Toxic Avenger — starring the satirical hero of the Troma Films cult classic films — AHOY Comics is announcing a collectible trading card by acclaimed artist Steve Ellis, to be included in a newly added special variant edition of issue #2. Ellis, a Magic: The Gathering card artist, brings his prodigious talents to the all-new 5-issue comic book series by Matt Bors and artist Fred Harper. The Toxic Avenger #1 Cover D, which features a collectible trading card by Harper, will debut October 9, with The Toxic Avenger #2 Cover D featuring Ellis’ collectible trading card following on November 13.

In The Toxic Avenger, teenager Melvin Junko helps run his parent’s junkyard in Tromaville, a small town in New Jersey where nothing much ever happens — until an ill-timed train derailment of toxic waste transforms Melvin into a hideously deformed creature of superhuman size and strength: the Toxic Avenger! Under a media blackout imposed by Biohazard Solutions (BS) and their PR-spewing Chairwoman Lindsay Flick, Melvin emerges as a hero fighting against BS and the mutated threats that keep popping up around Tromaville. Eventually Melvin uncovers a vast conspiracy more far-reaching than he could have ever imagined — but he knows if everyone is simply made aware of the crisis, they’ll act to stop it. Right?

The Toxic Avenger #1 will land in stores on October 9, 2024, with The Toxic Avenger #2 following on November 13, 2024.
