CRANIACS #4 (OF 4)

Debut comic based on the Craniacs trading cards created by Joe Simko, the lead Garbage Pail Kids card artist, and Topps senior executive Ira Friedman. This final issue of the four-part mini-series invites readers into a bold, zany universe where two planets collide to form one world. Rival skull-faced societies split the globe: RETROVIA, a wild stone-age culture, and FUTERRA, a systematic, ultra-futurist regime. Written by Sholly Fisch (Batman, Superman, Scooby-Doo) with vibrant art by Joe Simko, Craniacs blends offbeat humor with striking, cartoony visuals. The property is expanding into a TV series in active development with Titmouse (Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse), signaling cross-media storytelling ahead. At 32 pages in a softcover format, this issue delivers fast-paced action, clever world-building, and a welcoming entry point for new readers and longtime fans alike.
