Madballs vs Garbage Pail Kids, Volume 1, Free Comic Book Day

In 2023, Dynamite Entertainment brought together two of the most delightfully grotesque toy lines of the 1980s for a Free Comic Book Day one-shot. Written by Sholly Fisch with art by Jason Crosby, this single issue pits the Madballs—those squishy, monstrous heads—against the mischievous, parody-driven Garbage Pail Kids in a chaotic, humor-filled crossover. It’s a nostalgic, no-holds-barred meeting of cult-classic gross-out icons, celebrating their shared legacy of absurd, kid-friendly anarchy.
