This coming Friday is not only Halloween, but it’s also the start of Stan Lee’s 4th annual Comikaze Expo, and the legendary comic book icon is undergoing a fun makeover for the event. Yes, Stan Lee is becoming a Garbage Pail Kid, and he’s not the only one. Dig into the trash for full details!
From the Press Release
Two icons of pop culture collide! As they approach the 30th Anniversary of the Garbage Pail Kids in 2015, Topps has paired with Stan Lee to create an all-new GPK character just for Comikaze Expo: Smilin’ Stan!
That’s right, true believers; comic book hero Stan Lee, who will host the 4th Annual Comikaze Expo (Oct. 31-Nov.2 at the LA Convention Center), will become a Garbage Pail Kid with a deluxe limited edition 11″x14″ print to be sold throughout the weekend at the Comikaze Merchandise Booth #953 for just $10!
And in a dual announcement, Topps has revealed a new “B” edition of the Comic-Con Series 2 jumbo card print set, to be sold exclusively on Topps.com. These 11″x14″ prints feature pop culture and comic themed characters like “Bonus Jonas,” the “B” name of the all-new character created by Peter Bagge (and illustrated by GPK alum Brent Engstrom) for IDW Publishing’s upcoming Garbage Pail Kids comic book releasing in December. Also be on the lookout for a special rare variant print of “Lick It Upton”— randomly inserted for lucky fans and limited to just FIFTY COPIES!
To get the Stan Lee Comikaze Exclusive Jumbo Card Print, be sure to get your tickets for the show now at www.comikazeexpo.com. Topps’ Comic-Con Series 2 Jumbo Card Print Set (B Edition) will be available for pre-order on November 3rd exclusively on Topps.com.
