80s enthusiasts who love Garbage Pail Kids and Craniacs will be thrilled by the upcoming expansion of these classic franchises! The original trading cards, adorned with humorous illustrations by artists like Joe Simko, were a massive success among kids. One such creation was Craniacs, a series featuring skull-faced characters inhabiting a planet split between two distinct societies. The animation studio Titmouse (known for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse) is currently working on a Craniacs TV show, but before that, fans can enjoy a sneak peek with a Craniacs comic book set to be released by Titan Comics.
In an exclusive sneak peek, ComicBook unveils the covers and interior pages of Craniacs #1 penned by Sholly Fisch (known for his work on Batman and Scooby-Doo) and illustrated by Joe Simko (renowned for Garbage Pail Kids). The comic immerses readers in the realm of Craniacs, blending two narratives into one via a flip book. One tale transports us to the prehistoric era with Retrovia, while the other unfolds in the future with Futerra. Readers catch a glimpse of children rushing off to school, trying to make it on time.
As a passionate cinephile, I’m thrilled to share that this movie edition boasts an intriguing flip cover designed by Joe Simko, Ashleigh Izi, and Niclas Mortensen. Plus, there’s an exclusive trading card added for good measure!
