Comic books Marvel Comics's former children's comics subsidiary Star Comics released a three-issue miniseries (September–November 1986), which continued with issue #4 (June 1987) as a bi-monthly comic book. The series was cancelled with issue #10 (June 1988). The main villains of the comic book were Dr. Frankenbeans, who was in many ways similar to Victor Frankenstein, and his bumbling assistant Schnivelitch, who resembled Igor. Marvel UK released a one-shot issue called Madballs Annual (1988). Produced by Marvel UK in hardcover format, it reprints the comic book story of the creation of the Madballs by Dr. Frankenbeans and also features games and activities. Madballs re-releases In early 2006, toy company Art Asylum announced that it had partnered with original rights holder American Greetings to revive the Madballs toys, with both classic characters and new designs.

Newly designed sculpts for two other Madballs, Dust Brain and Freaky Fullback, as well as Super Madball Touchdown Terror, were also shown at Toy Fair and Comic-Con 2006, but the former two would be held off until Classic Series 2, and the latter was never released. American Greetings also hinted at the creation of a Super Madball named Goalrilla which would mimic the design of a soccer ball (this was possibly a redesign of the original Goal Eater Super Madball). Aargh from the original Series 1 is the only standard-sized character that was not redesigned or mooted for redesign, although Repvile seems to be a homage to the original Aargh Madball. Classic Series 2 Six more Madballs forming Classic Series 2 were released in the U.S. in 2008 (Freaky Fullback, Wolf Breath and Swine Sucker from the original
