Garbage Pail Kids: Origins and Madballs vs. Garbage Pail Kids will collect the two comic book series and will come with exclusive trading cards, not available elsewhere.
Each book is available in four variations, as a paperback, a hardcover, and the hardcover either signed or remarqued by an artist. All four iterations of Origins feature a unique cover too. The Origins volumes will feature a remarqued bookplate by artist Ken Haeser, while the Madballs vs. Garbage Pail Kids features remarques by Jason Crosby.
Purchasers will get 10 limited edition Garbage Pail Kids promotional trading cards for their collection. Each paperback comes with one exclusive card, the hardcovers with two each, the signed editions with three, and the remarqued versions with five. Collectors who go for the ultimate set of both remarqued volumes will get the full 10 card set — and one card signed by GPK Origins writers Adam F. Goldberg and Hans Rodionoff.
