About the series
Based on the grotesque, squishy toy phenomenon, this 1987 Marvel series ran for seven issues, bringing the Madballs' gross-out humor to the printed page. Writers and artists like Michael Gallagher, Howie Post, and Dave Manak crafted absurd, slapstick adventures for the deformed, bouncing characters. It stands as a pure, unapologetic artifact of the late-80s toy-to-comic trend, offering a bizarre and gleefully ugly escape from more conventional superheroics.
