Story on the back:
"The Martians landed and inspected the damage that they had done. Streets were beyond recognition and mighty cities had been all but leveled. Bodies lay on the streets, unfortunate victims of the Martian destruction. By some means the aliens had found a way to communicate with the giant insects that they had created. The bugs followed any instructions given to them from the spacemen. The Martians ordered the creatures to remove the bodies from the streets. Flying insects flew off with several bodies in their claws at a time. The aliens wanted all the streets clear before the people of Mars were brought to Earth to establish a new Martian domain."
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.
