CRANIACS #3 (OF 4)
Description
Debut comic based on the Craniacs trading cards created by Joe Simko, the Garbage Pail Kids artist, and Topps executive Ira Friedman. In this opening chapter, two planets collide to form one world, split between RETROVIA—a wild, stone‑age society—and FUTERRA, an ultra‑futurist, systematic realm. Written by Sholly Fisch (Batman, Superman, Scooby‑Doo) with vivid art by Joe Simko, the issue introduces skull‑faced cities, zany humor, and high‑energy color that fans of offbeat adventures will adore. Craniacs’ TV series is in active development with animation studio Titmouse, tying the comic to a broader animated universe. This 32‑page issue features multiple open order variants (A, B, and C) with distinctive covers by Simko and Iain Spanhake, inviting re‑readability and collectible excitement. A playful blend of whimsy and world‑building, it’s perfect for readers who love imaginative sci‑fi fantasy with a comic twist.
