Craniacs Vol. 1

by Sholly Fisch, Joe Simko (Cover Art)

From the collective, creative Craniums of Ira Friedman (Ex-Topps) and Joe Simko (Garbage Pail Kids) comes Craniacs, a refreshingly new and totally original comedy/action/adventure that has blasted its way across collectible trading cards and now into comics!

In the Craniacs universe of skull-headed folks, two planets collide and force two very different societies – Stone-Aged Retrovia and ultra-futuristic Futerra – to figure out how they’re going to make this new planet-sharing world order work! Innovative high-octane action, wacky physical comedy and outrageous competitions will be at the heart of every issue, alongside the importance of friendship, fraternity and family.

The graphic novel collections all four issues of the comic book series and is presented with exclusive bonus interviews and artwork!
