Official Garbage Pail Kids Coloring Book is Back
Just when you thought it was dead…The Official Garbage Pail Kids Coloring Book appears to be back. You might remember back in 2022 Epic Ink Books begin offering the coloring book on preorder for a 2023 release. A few months later listings for the book were removed. GPKNews was told at the time that the license for the book had fallen through. Well surprisingly listings for the book began appearing recently. GPKWorld was first to report on the book’s reappearance. Various book sellers, including Amazon, now show the book is scheduled for a Sept. 2, 2025 release date. The book was illustrated by Joe Simko, and the description remains unchanged from the previous listing. Collectors can preorder now for $12.99 wherever books are sold.
