SDCC: Garbage Pail Kids Comes to IDW Publishing

IDW Publishing announced today plans to pubish a new comics miniseries based on the Garbage Pail Kids.

"As a child of the Eighties, I was at ground zero for the Garbage Pail Kids phenomenon," series editor Denton J. Tipton said. "The profoundly irreverent stickers spoke directly to the rascal inside each and every one of my classmates, and helped us drive our teachers to the brink of insanity. I couldn't be more happy to be working with some of the giants of alternative comics to push the buttons of an entirely new generation of educators, many of which likely remember when the poo-covered sneaker was on the other foot."

"Having grown up with GPK and sharing my name with the flagship character, I can say it's no small honor to help shepherd the Garbage Pail Kids into their first ever comic book," said Topps' Adam Levine, Head of Outbound Licensing. "It's going to be a real treat to see our friends at IDW flesh out the world of the Garbage Pail Kids so that after 30 years we can finally find out who all of these weird little guys are."
