TIMELINE : 2014-2017
|
In early 2014, Idea and
Design Works, LLC (IDW) landed the licensing for the Garbage Pail
Kids' brand name and characters from the Topps Company, Inc. under
their IDW Publishing division, right in time for the 30th anniversary
of GPK in May, 2015. The initial comic-book images started to
appear around mid-year as Peter Bagge's new GPK character, Comic-Con
RON, was posted to the interwebs — closely followed by mock-up
comic-book covers by Joe Simko and Mark Pingitore with the 'Puke-Tacular'
tagline. Simko's Comic CONNER character
was circulated heavily on several different Topps bonus and promotional
cards as well as on IDW promotional items and Pingitore's NAT
Nerd hit online advertising pretty hard during the comic-book
convention season from July through October. The first 32-page 'One-Shot'
GPK comic was released at the end of December; these anthology
driven comics are usually unnumbered (the promo card does state #1)
and loosely based around one subject matter. Topps is able to use the
Topps freelance artist artwork as promotional or bonus material within
their own sets and distribute the comic bonus cards for IDW; Brent Engstrom's
excellent reiteration of Comic-Con RON
is pictured above and can be found as a bonus card in the Deluxe Edition
comic.

After all
of the Bazooka Joe-like GPK comic card backs of the Original
Series, the comic backs for the All-New Series sets and comic card backs
for releases up to this day, it is only natural to see Garbage Pail
Kids obtain a regular sized comic-book adaptation. Above is pictured
Jeff Zapata and Jay Lynch's one-page comic pitch sample to Topps during
the All-New Series GPK heyday. The page covers the many conventions
where the comic chase material could be located, including the San Diego
Comic-Con International ('SDCC') and the New York Comic-Con ('NYCC')
as well as online sources that also includes the few comics published
by Topps and not IDW.

IDW Website: Remember
mullets and teased bangs? Stonewashed denim jackets and jeans? Well,
not everything about the ‘80s was lame, because that’s when
the Garbage Pail Kids ruled the world! Those irreverent, satirical
stickers quickly became a pop-culture phenomenon, but they never had
their own comic book… until now! In the spirit of the avant-garde
cartoonists and humorists who fathered these miscreants, a new generation
of alternative-comics creators has lent their unique talents to bring
the Garbage Pail Kids into the wacky world of comics — just
in time for their 30th birthday!

The IDW Garbage Pail
Kids comic anthology is partly helmed by Peter Bagge (best known
for his Hate and Neat Stuff comics) who helps open the
comic-book with a four page story involving the zaniness of conventions
that stars NAT Nerd and newcomer character
Comic-Con RON in their plight for swag
at any cost in Collect'em All. Bill Wray, who has written and
directed episodes of the Ren & Stimpy
Show, takes us on an explosive seven page (literal) $#!TSTORM
story with wonder twins Potty SCOTTY and
JASON Basin'burster along with
fellow talent Hilary Barta, Jason Millet, Robbie Robbins and Denton
J. Tipton. I always considered these twins cleaning the bowl, not really
filling the can, so it was an unexpected twist and story for these two
characters; you might remember Bill Wray did the final artwork for OS10
cards 403a HUNTER Punter and 403b Fractured
FRANCIS. Writer Shaun Manning and artist Mark Pingitore with
lettering by Robbie Robbins gives us a bird's-eye view through Live
MIKE of what it's like to be a velvet-rope guest at a Con
Crud'vention. Vito Delsante and Dean Haspiel give us a one-page
lesson on s#!tting a brick in More Roughage, Less Suffrage. The
last two installments help the first GPK comic anthology end
strongly, the four page How To Be a Garbage Pail Kid 101 is written
and superbly illustrated by GPK artist Joe Simko, possibly the most
humanized story of the lot; minus the human, it's what I envisioned
the GPK comic to be. Jeff Zapata, who has worked extensivly with
the All-New Series GPK line, rounds out the comic book with a
wonderful PSA-like four page story The Shocking Truth that includes
character Fryin' BRIAN with help from Fred
Wheaton and legend Jay Lynch with inking. A mock-up 'Phantom' variant
cover (retail version) with ADAM Bomb on
the cover, the original card image, was created but never never realized,
although, rumored to be a haux.

Although comic card backs
didn't hit the Garbage Pail Kids scene, historically speaking,
until the OS6 set, the OS5 card fronts had a couple of comic-themed
characters; cards 172a NAT Nerd and 172b
CLARK Can't, whom make a predominant appearance
in the first IDW GPK comic installment, as well as cards 184b
Upside Down DONALD and 184b HUGH
Turn. The GPK comic card backs, a parody of Topps' Bazooka
Joe gum comics, would have a recurring roll in the Garbage Pail
Kids sets and later be known as The Garbage Gang starting
within the OS9 set.

Brent Engstrom had two such
unreleased works from the IDW comic book days, in a black and white
concept stage only; he has graciously allowed me to showcase his unpublished
GPK comic artwork and story and have 'Mad MIKE' Boyajian process
the coloring. The second of the two comics, showcased first, includes
GPK all-stars OS7 Grilled GIL, ANS7 Ghost TORY, OS1 Dead TED,
2014S1 WAYNE N Moon and a human character that is reminiscent of Mel
from Mel's Diner (on 'Alice'). The first comic co-stars OS5 NAT Nerd,
OS2 JANET Planet and an anonymous human.

'CLICK' PIC TO VIEW COMIC : BOTTOM OF PAGE

Artists that were signed
on to create comic artwork for IDW's at-the-time forthcoming GPK
comic book, surrounding the 30th anniversary hype, were instructed to
submit their stories. No clear instruction was given and IDW eventually
went with a very thematic compilation format — so, many initial
submissions did not make it into the comic book releases. IDW's approach
was also very heavy on underground artists and their interpretive ideas,
thus leaving out the core group of actual GPK artists from most
of the project. If one were to compile the published works from Simko,
Engstrom and Zapata into one comic, with Pingitore's covers and Engstrom's
bonus cards, it would be a very strong comic... unfortuantely, the guest
spots outweighed the GPK heavy hitters.

UNPUBLISHED 'VERTIGOO' COMIC SAMPLES
The 'Vertigoo' story is based around a few of the major Garbage Pail Kids characters Messy Tessie, Anna Banana, and Nasty Nick
along with a few cameos with other GPK character canon.
|
THE STORY: begins with Messy
Tessie visiting her psychiatrist on a rainy day. Dr. Sigmund Fraud is
trying to help her cure her fear of heights, but she would rather be
at the mall with her best friend Anna Banana. As she sits in the waiting
room with Wacky Jackie she notices a drenched bat clinging to the window.
She rescues the bat (Nicholas) and agrees to take him back to his house
on the outskirts of town (monster mansion). Nicholas gives her a tour
of the mansion which includes helping her with her vertigo by taking
her to the high bell tower. In exchange she promises to help him with
his fear of the dark. In the meantime, back at Dr. Fraud's office, Anna
Banana shows up to meet Messy Tessie and finds out from Wacky Jackie
the she left with Nicholas. Realizing that she has been fooled by Nicholas
(the vampire Nasty Nick in bat form) she rushes off to the monster mansion
to save her friend. Back at the mansion, Nicholas convinces Messy Tessie
to keep him company until dark in the bell tower. As the sun sets he
transforms into the bloodsucking vampire Nasty Nick. Her friend Anna
Banana arrives just in time to monkey her way up to the tower and throw
garlic powder on Nasty Nick. He brushes it off and explains that only
“fresh” garlic affects vampires, but Messy Tessie happens
to be allergic to it and sneezes a giant wad of snot which fuses Nasty
Nick to the tower bell. Then the girlfriends walk off into the sunset.
The End. —Steve Potter
