Garbage Pail Kids News
This coming from Kevin Johnson over at Gotham City Comics. IDW began pre-sales today for the 5th GPK Comic, Garbage Pail Kids Go Hollywood. Like previous releases there will be different cover variants. The regular, deluxe, blank cover, and the more rare variant. The deluxe comic will once again contain a promo card. No word yet what parallels will be available of the card. The comic is set to released in late Aug. of this year.
Topps did something they have never done before. They started a Kickstarter campaign for a non-sports set, Mars Attacks. They have already blown by their goal with just a couple of weeks left in the campaign. It was just announced through GPKUG and on Joe Simko’s Facebook page that the first 500 backers that are getting something mailed to them will receive the promo card. Be on the lookout for this promo card to hit the market towards the end of the year.
