Junkyard

Junkyard is a character from Marvel's 1992 comic adaptation of the Toxic Crusaders animated series, an irreverent property based on Troma's Toxic Avenger franchise. They operate alongside mutant heroes like Toxie in a satirical, offbeat world of environmental themes and outrageous humor.

Born from the irreverent, anything-goes energy of the early '90s Copper Age, Junkyard made their debut in Marvel's Toxic Crusaders #1 (1992), courtesy of creators Simon Furman and Derek Yaniger. This wonderfully offbeat corner of the Marvel universe finds Junkyard sharing pages with a gloriously eccentric cast — Toxie, No-Zone, Major Disaster, Dr. Bender, and Melvin Junko — a lineup that signals just how delightfully strange this series was. Spanning appearances across Toxic Crusaders and Lloyd Kaufman Presents The Toxic Avenger and Other Tromatic Tales, Junkyard is a cult curiosity with real staying power, a character who rewards the collector willing to dig into Marvel's more wonderfully weird back-catalog.
