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, well in advance 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 items and promo cards as well as on IDW promotional material, and Pingitore's NAT Nerd hit online advertising pretty hard during the comic book convention season from July through October.

The first thirty-two page 'ONE-SHOT' GPK comic was released at the end of December 2014; these IDW anthology-driven comics are usually unnumbered and are based loosley around one subject matter. Although the promo card does state "SP1" and the one-shot comics continued to be announced every two months in Previews magazine. Topps used the various freelance artist artwork as promotional or bonus material within their own sets and provide the comic book bonus cards for IDW. Brent Engstrom's excellent reiteration of Comic-Con RON is pictured above and can be found as a bonus card within the Deluxe Edition comic for issue "#1".



After all of the various Bazooka Joe-like comic-strip card backs of the Original Series, for the All-New Series sets, and comic card backs for releases up to this day, and the one-shot online comics taht followed, it was only natural to see the Garbage Pail Kids brand obtain a regular-sized comic book adaptation. A one-page comic concept sample, by Jeff Zapata and Jay Lynch, can be seen above that was pitched to Topps during the All-New Series GPK resurgance period; it sadly did not come to fruition during that time, but both Jeff and Jay both conributed to the IDW GPK publication, and Zapata also went on to help creat the Garbage Pail Kids: Origins comics in 2022 by Dynamite Entertainment. See the GPK Licenses 2022 page for more information.

This extensive page covers the many online and in-person locations where the comic book chase items and promotional material could be located, including the San Diego Comic-Con International ('SDCC') & the New York Comic-Con ('NYCC'), the many different cover variants for the published comics, including unpublished information and strips, as well as the Topps Shop online that also printed and released a few comics themselves.

Retailer Incentive ("RI" CVR) coverdef'n. = Incentive variants are designed to help comic shops; if a store orders a certain number of regular copies, they then qualify for a limited quantity of a special edition cover, usu. able to charge more.

Subscription Cover ("SUB" CVR) def'n. = Special cover variants obtained by the comic shop through an ongoing comic ordering subscription, usually online these days.

RELEASE PERIOD : DECEMBER 24, 2014

T
he IDW Garbage Pail Kids anthology comic is partly helmed by Peter Bagge, best known for his Hate and Neat Stuff comics, who opens 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. You may recall 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 charcter Live MIKE of what it's like to be a velvet-rope guest at a Con Crud'vention. Vito Delsante and Dean Haspiel contribute a one-page lesson on s#!tting a brick in More Roughage, Less Suffrage. The last two installments help the first comic come to a strong GPK end; the four page How To Be a Garbage Pail Kid 101 is written and superbly illustrated by GPK artist Joe Simko, and Jeff Zapata, who art directed the ANS GPK line, rounds out the comic book with a wonderful PSA-like four page story The Shocking Truth that includes character Fryin' BRIAN, with inking help from Fred Wheaton and legendary undergound comix and GPK artist Jay Lynch.



Although reverse comic card backs did not 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, who makes 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.

IDW website and product 'Description': 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! (W) Peter Bagge, Shaun Manning, Bill Wray, Vito Delsante, Joe Simko (A) Peter Bagge, Hilary Barta, Dean Haspiel, Joe Simko (A/CA) Mark Pingatore.

A mock-up 'Phantom Variant' cover was allegedly created for the first release, with the infamous OS1 ADAM Bomb card character on the front, as a Retailer Exclusive Cover ("RE CVR"), and cut early during production; although rumored to have been a haux. This does have some traction considering an OS card character was released for every subsequent issue, except for the last which was replaced. And, the preliminary mock-up layout is similar to others in the same release, and no mock-up image for cover 'C' seems to have been produced, replaced by the Simko cover. Phantom Variants were exclusive covers to twenty or so card shops during that time, but it was apparently cancelled, if true.

IDW website and product description: 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. Collects all five one-shots.

UNPUBLISHED "ZOMBURGERS!" COMIC


'CLICK' PIC TO VIEW COMIC : TOP HALF OF LINKED PAGE

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.

UNPUBLISHED "PILE O' COMICS" STRIP


'CLICK' PIC TO VIEW COMIC : BOTTOM HALF OF LINKED 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.




Per artist: "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
