GVN Exclusive: Cover & Pages From Ahoy Comics' Toxie Team-Up #2 By Stuart Moore & Ryan Kelly
The Toxic Avenger
When Michael Herz and Lloyd Kaufman first released their 1984 film The Toxic Avenger, it was received with mixed reviews. However, over time, their story about a picked-on nerd who becomes a mutated superhero after falling into a drum of toxic waste evolved into a cult classic and a media franchise. From film to television, to animated shows, video games, and even a musical.
The Toxic Avenger – Ahoy Style
So, it came as no surprise when the talented and humor-laden creators at Ahoy Comics brought the character to their pages in 2024, under the creative guidance of Matt Bors and Fred Harper. Now, Ahoy is teaming up 'Toxie' with some of its fan-favorite AHOY titles in what can only be described as classic Ahoy. The characters include Jesus Christ (from Russell and Pace's controversial work, 'SECOND COMING'), Acid Chimp (from Russell, Bryce Ingman, and Peter Krause's absurdly hilarious comic, 'MY BAD'), Dragonflyman and Stinger (from Tom Peyer and Jamal Igle's multiversal saga, 'THE WRONG EARTH'), as well as Swamp Cop and Schitt (from Bors and Ben Clarkson's satirical hit, 'JUSTICE WARRIORS').

For Issue# 2, Toxie teams up with the Jersey Devil (from the creature-packed anthology 'PROJECT: CRYPTID'). Now, thanks to the team at Ahoy Comics, Creators Stuart Moore and Ryan Kelly, and artist Rob Steen, we are proud to offer these exclusive cover and page reveals, along with an exclusive trading card by Rob Steen (included with Cover C by Fred Harper – not shown…there has to be SOME surprises).
