In September, 2013 I was lucky enough to attend the Philly Non Sports Card Show. Aside from meeting some fantastic artists and collectors, I was able to take part in a special project 30 years in the making: the Garbage Pail Kids Documentary!

That's right...a documentary highlighting anything and everything Garbage Pail Kids! The documentary is the brainchild of (current GPK artist) Joe Simko, and will (without a doubt) ultimately serve as THE authority on Garbage Pail Kids.

In addition to featuring dead-sexy GPK Collectors like little ol' me, this documentary will also contain interviews from the original gang that started it all: Art Spiegelman, Len Brown, Mark Newgarden, John Pound, Tom Bunk, Jay Lynch, Jeff Zapata, and more!

The 'Mission':

Our goal is to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Topps’ Garbage Pail Kids Cards with an awesome documentary that is jam-packed with interviews and stories from the original creators of the controversial and explosively-popular 80’s card series. Grown-up kids will share nostalgic memories of what it was like to be a part of an international phenomena. Superfans will give us a peek at what a 30-year amassment of Garbage Pail Kids memorabilia looks like. We will explore the rich cartoon art history that bred this culture icon and proclaim Garbage Pail Kids as a solid mark of the 20th Century!
