Topps has launched a brand new online offering, moving into the comic book space. Today Topps launched Topps Comics #1 Garbage Pail Kids Worst of 2016. The comic book features new artwork on the cover by Joe Simko. There are six pages inside the box, with the artwork being done by Brent Engstrom and the writing by Pat Barrett. The comic also comes with two stickers, numbered 1a (Grim Jim) and 1b (Nervous Rex). Based on the numbering it appears this will be an ongoing series. In a note on the Topps Blog they mention issue #2 will be out next week. Each comic and card set can be purchased for $19.99, or in a lot of 5 for $89.99. Free shipping is not being offered, so expect at least an additional $7+ when ordering. The comic will be on sale for 7 days on Topps.com. Topps did say they will reveal the print run at the end of the sale. Here are a couple pictures of the comic.
I thought we weren’t having any more comic books.
Ah well, more fanfic fuel for me!
