Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the comic shop…

For over three decades, Madballs and GPK have both been known as the “grossest of the gross”, co-ruling counterculture with their pun-heavy names and subversive humor. This all-new limited series event features the first time these two delightfully crude forces have ever met!

Your freaky favorites, the Madballs and Garbage Pail Kids, are at it again. But this time, the chaos can’t be confined to a single neighborhood as we trace the entire history of Madballs-GPK feud — bursting (and oozing) out across the ages!

In this issue: Arrrh, mateys! Weigh anchor for horrible hijinks on the high seas as the Madballs set sail for a pirate adventure with Skullface on their flag and…well, never mind what’s on the poop deck. Plus: Italy in the 16th century — The Sistine Chapel needs a paint job…and the GPK and Madballs both want the gig! There’s only one way to choose: a no-holds-barred paint-off! Written by Sholly Fisch, each issue features three incredible covers: Legendary Garbage Pail Kids (and Mad!) artist Joe Simko, series artist Jason Crosby and a special Ken Haeser Vintage Fight Poster, created especially for this momentous meeting of the (depraved) minds!

Just when fans thought it was safe to return to the comic shop… the grossest of crossovers continues! Everyone’s freaky favorites, Cloudco’s Madballs and Topps’ Garbage Pail Kids, are back for their next bout to determine the ultimate winner starting February 2023 in Madballs vs. Garbage Pail Kids: Time Again, Slime Again!

The creative team from the first series is back for this rematch full of slime, sludge, and worse! Writer Sholly Fisch brings his all-ages expertise to these beloved franchises originating in the 1980s and enjoyed by all generations. Interior artist Jason Crosby returns with his celebrated take on these awesome characters.

This time around, the chaos simply cannot be confined to a single neighborhood, as the crew traces the entire history of the infamous feud as it oozes across the ages! The first issue jumps all the way back to the dawn of time — chronicling the initial one-upmanship of the Cro-Madballs and Neanderthal Pail Kids.

This is no ordinary comic, and each issue comes packed with stories, puzzles, and activity pages that invite kids to dumpster-dive in and get their hands dirty as they play alongside their favorite creepy characters. Cloudco’s Madballs and Topps’ Garbage Pail Kids will continue to enthrall readers of all ages in this new series.

Issues also feature a trio of unique covers for every kind of fan and collector. GPK legend Joe Simko leads the way alongside interior artist Jason Crosby, and special vintage fight poster styled covers by the versatile Ken Haeser!
