Garbage Pail Kids: Trashin' Through Time #3

Tom Bunk's cover for this third issue of Garbage Pail Kids: Trashin' Through Time is a wonderfully chaotic scene straight out of a mad scientist's dungeon — a vampire kid and a lab-coated grotesque tinker away amid shelves crammed with bubbling flasks, monstrous gadgets, and all manner of gloriously disgusting debris, while a witch-hatted GPK stirs a cauldron of writhing creatures by firelight. The whole image is packed with the lovably gross energy that makes the Garbage Pail Kids so enduring, rendered here with meticulous, almost painterly detail. With Goldberg, Rodionoff, and Zapata behind this Dynamite series, issue three looks like essential reading for anyone who appreciates their humor on the darker, slimier side.
