THE
TOPPS COMPANY AND ABRAMS ANNOUNCE STRATEGIC PUBLISHING ALLIANCE February 22, 2011; New York, NY: Topps, a leading global marketer of collectibles and confections, has granted ABRAMS, the preeminent publisher of illustrated books, an exclusive license to publish books inspired by Topps’ long-standing presence in sports and popular culture. The multi-year arrangement is expected to yield an array of non-fiction and fiction sports and entertainment-themed books and calendars, which will be published across all of the ABRAMS imprints, including Abrams ComicArts; Abrams Image; Abrams Books for Young Readers; Amulet Books; and Stewart, Tabori & Chang. The deal was negotiated at Topps by Ira Friedman, VP of Global Licensing, and at ABRAMS by Charles Kochman, Editorial Director. The first line of books is slated to release in spring of 2012.
“The word ‘Topps’ conjures up memories of collecting sports heroes and chronicling pop culture phenomena. Plus, who can forget the unmistakable aroma of Topps’ classic Bazooka bubble gum?” said Michael Jacobs, ABRAMS President and CEO. “We look forward to working with the Topps team to capitalize on the appeal of their iconic brand in all kinds of book formats, and look to provide great reading experiences for adults and kids of all ages.”
In 2008, Topps and ABRAMS collaborated on a project for the first time. An exquisitely produced, cleverly packaged full-color hardcover book based upon Topps’ own Wacky Packages parody property generated much acclaim, both critically and commercially, and spawned a follow-up edition as well as the first-ever Wacky Packages calendar. This initial relationship prompted discussions of other possible projects in the vast Topps’ portfolio, which led to the alliance.
“We welcome the opportunity to greatly expand our partnership with ABRAMS,” said Ryan O’Hara, Topps President and CEO. “ABRAMS is a best-in-class publisher whose reputation for quality, innovation, and success is indisputable. They also have a profound appreciation of Topps’ rich history and our powerful impact on consumers today. They not only understand our past but are also aligned with our vision for the future,” said O’Hara. In addition to a focus on creating top-notch traditional books, the scope of the new venture encompasses cutting-edge formats and technologies, including electronic books. A fiction series geared primarily toward 7-10-year-old boys is also on the agenda. The new fiction will serve as potential media content, consistent with Topps’ strategy to expand into film, TV, and other media platforms.  PRAISE FOR Garbage Pail Kids: "If you ask me, reliving my time with Bad Breath Seth and Potty Scotty is worth the cover price alone." —USAToday.com "I worried that [the Garbage Pail Kids] might seem too time-bound for their own good; but if anything, 27 years later, they’re more poignant. Maybe it’s because I’m a worried, concerned adult, but more likely it’s because nothing is ever as funny as it is when you’re ten years old—and everything is a lot scarier." —CapitalNewYork.com "The book is a wonderfully designed tribute to these shit-disturbing cards in all their graphic, full-color glory." —ComicsBeat.com "There's a lot of interesting stuff in Spiegelman's intro, and in the afterward by John Pound, the artist who originated and drew the bulk of the Kids. But the real reason to buy this book is for the graphic brilliance of the art itself." —Boston Phoenix |

Stine, and signed copies of the book could be acquired with bookplates from B.A.M., Mysterious Galaxy B., and other bookstores across the nation. Barnes & Noble had a 'signed book' pre-order but most orders were cancelled due to lack of fulfillment.  FINAL ARTWORK BY JOE SIMKO FEB 21, 2021 PRESS RELEASE — LI©ENSEGLOBAL Abrams Children’s Books has announced the future publication of “Garbage Pail Kids #1: Welcome to Smellville,” the first book in a middle-grade series inspired by the Garbage Pail Kids. The deal for three books, including world rights, was negotiated by Charles Kochman, editorial director, Abrams, and Ira Friedman, vice president, global licensing, Topps. Kochman will also edit the books. R.L. Stine, author of the “Goosebumps” and “Fear Street” series, has signed on to author the book. The series will feature cover art by Joe Simko and interior illustrations by Jeff Zapata, both mainstay artists for the GPK brand for Topps. Each book in the series will be packaged with four exclusive sticker cards. “The Garbage Pail Kids are ghastly, loud, messy, out of control… out of their minds,” says Stine. “In other words, my kind of kids. I’m hoping to create a book series that captures all the loopy slapstick fun of these uniquely awful characters, to get all middle-grade kids reading – and laughing.” “R. L. Stine’s gifted storytelling and enormous youth following offers the Garbage Pail Kids franchise the opportunity to connect with a new generation,” says Friedman. “While our brand’s community of lifelong collectors remains as passionate as ever, we’re also very excited to see GPK engage with the audience where it all started: kids! We can’t wait to celebrate our 35th anniversary throughout the year leading up to the release of ‘Welcome to Smellville’ in October!”“Welcome to Smellville” will release in hardcover, eBook and audio editions on October 6, 2020.  The final cover image was revealed on July 21, 2020 during the San Diego Comic-Con@Home exclusive merchandise release information. The only change from the original mock-up image was the purple + yellow spine cover was changed to a green + purple spine cover, with imagery similar to the GIANT Series card-back borders with garbage + gross-out bits, and a green splatter notice that the book 'INCLUDES 4 BONUS STICKERS!' Little Golden Books®, a part of Peguin Random House, contacted ABRAMS Books, after the original image release in February 2020, stating the yellow + purple spine cover was too close in appearance to their 'A Little Golden Book' series with the distinctive gold + black spine cover, containing random images of flowers, animals and insects line artwork. • GPK YOUTH NOVEL AUDIOBOOK #1 : UNABRIDGED DIGITAL + AUDIO: SEPT 29, 2020 — ORIG.

| ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY EXCLUSIVE R.L. Stine sets new series based on Garbage Pail Kids. Things are about to get slimy. R.L. Stine fans, meet R.L. Slime. By David Canfield February 21, 2020 at 11:00 AM EST  NOTE: MOCK-UP IMAGE WITH A RED GPK BANNER The legendary author behind Goosebumps and Fear Street will next publish a middle-grade series based on The Topps Company’s pop-culture phenomenon Garbage Pail Kids, EW can announce exclusively. The author reached a three-book deal with publisher Abrams’ Children’s Books, beginning with Welcome to Smellville, which will hit shelves this fall. Garbage Pail Kids first launched in 1985 as collectible sticker cards and has since grown to include merchandise such as T-shirts, toys, mobile and board games, and more. In Stine’s vision, the Garbage Pail Kids are gross and weird and strange, but they’re not bad kids — they just don’t know any better. Welcome to Smellville introduces Adam Bomb, Brainy Janie, Junkfood John, and Nervous Rex as they get into mischief, battling bullies and their archenemies, the Perfects. “The Garbage Pail Kids are ghastly, loud, messy, out of control . . . out of their minds. In other words, MY kind of kids!” Stine said in a statement. “I’m hoping to create a book series that captures all the loopy slapstick fun of these uniquely awful characters, to get all middle-grade kids reading — and laughing. ”The books will feature cover art by Joe Simko and interior illustrations by Jeff Zapata, both mainstay artists for the Garbage Pail Kids brand, and will be packaged with four exclusive, collectible sticker cards. EW can exclusively debut Simko’s cover art as well as a preview sticker card for Welcome to Smellville, the latter of which introduces a rather uncanny R.L. Slime.Check the sticker out [above], and be sure to see the cover at the top of this post. Garbage Pail Kids #1: Welcome to Smellville publishes Oct 6, 2020. • 
The Abrams 'FALL 2020' catalogue showcased a mock up of the upcoming youth novel release with 'Includes 4 exclusive stickers1' peaking out from the book innards as well as two illustrations by artist Jeff Zapata. Although Jeff's artwork was still in a rough artwork stage, Abrams liked it so much they used it early for the catalogue spread. The write-up contained the same information found within the product description of the book as well as touching upon 'cross-generational appeal', 'popular brand' (green), the GPK 'anniversary' and 'social media' outlets. •  SOURCE: NSU VOLUME 31 • NO.2 APRIL/MAY 2020 •  The R.L. Stine GPK 'Welcome to SMELLVILLE' book cover can also be seen within the online artwork for Bizarre Holidays (April - Week 1) cards 4a Library LINDSAY and 4b Booger-Book BROOKE, both painted by artist JOE Simko. A tribute to the OS2 characters painted by artist JOHN Pound for cards 45a Leaky LINDSAY and 45b Messy TESSIE, and a parody of the 'School Librarian Day' observance on April 4, 2020. The cards were available for one week from March 31st to April 7, 2020. For more information visit the 'GPK Online 2020' page. The book image can also be located within the MAD Mike: FURY LOAD Vol.1 short by Jam Roll Studios and in the Bizarre Holidays December, wk2 set, cards #7. •  NOTE: 'BRAINY JANEY' TRADITIONALLY SPELLED 'BRAINY JANIE' NOTE: 'HANDY RANDY' CHANGED TO A 'HANDY SANDY' FEMALE CHARACTER FOR THE STORY SDCC 'Welcome to Smellville' Prize Pack - Licensed by Topps Possibly, a much easier San Diego ComicCon@Home item to obtain from ABRAMS Books.

BOOK: Similar to the previous Wacky
Packages and other card art books by Abrams, the Garbage Pail Kids edition is
also designed to look and feel like a trading card Wax Pack
from the '80s. The hardcover book has a slab of gum pictured on the front cover
with the following pages containing the trading card artwork, while the dust jacket
acts as the wrapper. The card artwork on page measures roughly 4.0 x 5.5 inches,
as opposed to the released 2.5 x 3.5 inches card size; slightly smaller than the
original 5 x 7 final artwork. • 2 . BOOK: Since an artbook that caters more to adults is considered a far different art medium than trading cards usually marketed towards children, Topps can take the liberty of including bonus art material 'FOR PROMOTIONAL USE ONLY — NOT FOR RESALE'. This material can be far edgier than a regular card release with themes and content potentially not suitable for a younger audience; ie. two gun themes and two sharp instruments. The Wacky Packages art books and calendar contained similar adult topics such as alcohol and cigarettes not found in recent releases. There are eighteen different card editions in print due to seventeen different product runs; blank for the '1st ed', '2nd/3rd ed.' are together, and '4th ed.' through '19th ed.' on the backside found to the right of the 'Topps®' logo. The same cards were released for the 2017 French Les Crados reissue book with French text on the reverse card backs; the reissue edition only.  There are several changes to the cards and book editions: The 'FOR PROMOTIONAL USE ONLY — NOT FOR RESALE' line is missing from above the GPK header starting with the 6th edition. The 'ART BY...' line at the bottom of the card, that includes the artist and release information, is missing from the 6th through 9th edition cards.  • 3. BOOK: The artwork images present in the book are reproduced from Transparencies of the original art. Less than nine of the card images are from digital files that were touched-up for the publication. The only nostalgic feeling the artwork is missing are the die-cut lines for the peel away sticker. • 4. BOOK: Note the differences between the previous print run cards compared to the later '12th ed.' through '18th ed.' card backs (using the '5th ed.' and '12th ec.' card backs for comparison); the Edition Number isn't the only thing that underwent a change: The 'ABRAMS COMIC ARTS' brand has been updated for this twelfth edition showcasing the new, stylized 'A' logo next to it. The website addresses for Abrams and Topps no longer contains the 'WWW' (world wide web) beginning sequence. And, the cards are considerably thicker than previous prints, using a 'perforated' card stock, you can identify the eight perforations around the card edge; except the '15th ed.' are clean cut.  • 5. BOOK: Abrams printed a eleventh edition of their GPK book specifically due to the 2019 San Diego Comic Con in which artist John Pound was in attendance and signing autographs; the book can be found with a 'SIGNED COPY' sticker on the front cover and an inside page signed by Pound with 'SDCC 2019' after his signature. Pound was also signed ADAM Bomb cards printed by Topps for the special occasion. ABRAMS' PR DOCUMENT: 11:00 AM–12:00 PM – Abrams booth #1216 – John Pound will sign Garbage Pail Kids. Limit 1 item per person.  • 6. CALENDAR: As opposed to the Abrams book, the calendar contains only twelve Characters; three images from OS1, two images from OS2, two images from OS3, three images from OS4 and one image from OS5. However, there is one Christmas image for December that comes from OS7, a set not covered in the Abrams publication.  • 7. CALENDAR: Since a wall calendar is considered a far different art medium than trading cards marketed towards children, Topps can take the liberty of including bonus material "For Promotional Use Only — Not For Resale". This material can be far edgier than a regular card release, with themes and content potentially not suitable for a younger audience; ie. a gun, sharp instrument, orifice and blood. The Abrams Wacky Packages art books and calendar contained similar adult topics such as alcohol and cigarettes not found in recent releases.  • 8. CALENDAR: The artwork for card #1 of 4 Failed PHIL, intended for the unpublished OS16 GPK set in 1988, had the Hand Guns removed from the card image; thus, showing the character triggering an 'air hand' gun.  • 9. CALENDAR: The wall calendar contains the largest rendered Wrapper Artwork by Tom Bunk. The calendar also portrays the old die-cut outline image behind the calendar dates for roughly half of the calendar. |
