Story on the back:
"Although the entire city had fled to the countryside to hide, a soldier remained to help a lady scientist gather valuable information about the Martians. The couple were so intent on their work that they failed to notice a long tentacle reach into the room, until it had grabbed the woman. Crying out hysterically, the woman was pulled toward the window by the giant creature. The soldier charged the bug with his bayonet and jabbed through the thick skin, again and again. Badly hurt, the insect released the woman and she slumped unconsciously to the floor. Even after their hair-raising escapade, the brave duo remained to finish their work."
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.
