Madballs

Marvel UK’s Madballs (1987–present) is a chaotic, short-lived comic series that sprang from the gross-out toy line of the same name, blending absurd horror with slapstick humor. Spanning just eight issues, it followed a cast of monstrous, misshapen characters—like Screamin’ Meemie and Horn Head—through wild, often nonsensical adventures that leaned heavily on visual gags and puns. The series is a quirky artifact of the late-’80s toy-to-comic trend, remembered for its unapologetically weird tone and as a cult oddity in Marvel’s UK output.
