Story on the back:

"The Martians never let any soldiers get close to them, blasting any approaching Earthmen with their death rays. However one of the aliens was so interested in watching a burning building that he never noticed a group of soldiers sneaking up behind him, until it was too late Carrying a huge fishing net, a couple of the Earth fighters wrapped it over the surprised victim. The spaceman lashed out at the soldiers, trying to grab one through the net. A quick jab with a bayonet quieted the alien and he was carried off to Earth's military headquarters. There, trained specialists would attempt to break the language barrier and communicate with the captured Martian."

Mars Attacks Cards collection image

A limited series of 55 unique Mars Attacks cards.

In 1962, Topps released their infamous Mars Attacks cards and faced an almost immediate public backlash.

So much so that a complaint from a Connecticut district attorney caused Topps to stop producing the cards altogether…

So what was the big deal?

The 55-card set told the story of a Martian invasion and near destruction of Earth in gruesome visual detail.

Images on the cards featured people and pets being burned, zapped with lasers, and ruthlessly tortured.

And in this collection you can see every card in the set and follow along with the story written on the backs of them card by card.
