Edgy, subversive, and darkly comedic, this over-the-top series depicting a Martian invasion of Earth has a loyal following and continues to win new generations of fans. For the first time, this book brings together high-quality reproductions of the entire original series, as well as the hard-to-find sequel from 1994, rare and never-before-seen sketches, concept art, and test market materials. Also included are an introduction by series co-creator Len Brown and an afterword by Zina Saunders, daughter of the original artist, providing an insider’s behind-the-scenes view of the bizarre and compelling world of Mars Attacks.Includes four Mars Attacks trading cards.Includes preliminary sketches and artwork, including a facsimile of the original trading card mechanical on the inside back cover, with reproduction of the 1962 handwriting from the original Topps production department.Praise for Mars Attacks:“The best thing about this 50th-anniversary book is that it frees Mars Attacks from rose-tinted memory.” —NPR.org“The work produced by writer Len Brown and artist Norm Saunders, collected now in the anthology Mars Attacks: 50th Anniversary Collection . continues to pass muster as a lurid snapshot of sci-fi paranoia at its most pulp- fictiony.” —Wired.com“It’s like a mini-museum of alien grotesquerie between two solid covers, depicting all the iterations of the series, with further treatments by modern illustrators, and sketchbook reproductions, and names, dates, and times. Oh, and? And there are four bonus trading cards included with each copy of this graphic and texty artifact.” —AustinChronicle.com“It’s a true gem of American pop culture history that should be a centerpiece on any true geek’s coffee table.” —The Houston Press Art Attack blog Can you smell the Bazooka Joe bubble gum?? I swear, Abrams somehow permeated this book with Eau-de-Bazooka Joe! Fantastic!This is one amazing book! In every way! The dust wrapper is lovingly made with a semi-transparent paper that mimics the original Mars Attacks pack wrapper. The text, mostly by Len Brown who is well-known to us card, comic and monster-mag fans, presents the most in-depth portrait of Woody Gelman (of Topps and Nostalgia Press) that Ive ever read. Zina Saunders, the daughter of the painter Norm Saunders who painted most of the finished cards over Bob Powells pencils, also contributes an excellent and touching account of the Mars Attacks days with her dad. And the cards... these are the finest reproductions Ive ever seen. Even better than the originals. Im a big fan of Topps 1994 reissue set, but this books repros are the best. The original (and 1994 reissue) cards were about 2.5 x 3.5. The repros in this book are about 3 x 4.25. Needless to say, gorgeous repros of all 55 original cards, full page, with the back of the card on the facing page, are included. The card images are crystal clear. The reason? The books repros are shot from the ORIGINAL TRANSPARENCIES! This is the ultimate Mars Attacks book!Also included are the 11 cards from the extended 1994 set, as well as various other random magazine premiums and Screemin cards.The book is a treasure. I sold my set of Mars Attacks cards in 1965 for $1, and have regretted it ever since, but this book makes up for it. Thank you, Abrams!!

As an aside, Ericsson offers a good critique of Malcolm Gladwell's attack "Outliers" in which Gladwell made the "ten thousand hour rule" so popular; Ericsson cautions us that Gladwell misunderstood marses details of that rule including its limited utility as an average and (Topps) inapplicability to some of (Topps) Attscks he cites in (Topps) book.

  • (1936 to 1971) and the Card Collectors Hall of Fame Idea
    Hobby History Who’s Who in Card Collecting (1936 to 1971) and the Card Collectors Hall of Fame Idea By George Vrechek A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...before there were Star Wars cards, the Internet, eBay, card stores, or card shows, collectors had to find each other through Facebook pages. No, that wasn’t how they did it either. They used the U.S. Postal Service and hobby publications to find out who else in the galaxy was collecting cardboard. Burdick’s Bulletin In previous SCD articles, I have described how lonesome, twenty-year-old card collector Lionel Carter hunted around in 1938 until he found collector Harry Lilien who led him to the “father of card collecting,” Jefferson Burdick of Syracuse, New York. Burdick started his bi-monthly Card Collectors Bulletin (CCB) in 1936. In the very first issue he effectively started the first “Who’s Who” in card collecting by listing all (15) of his subscribers and their collecting interests. Collectors were hungry to find others who had similar interests and who might compliment their own needs with available duplicates. Baseball card collector Carter circled the names of promising subscribers on his copies of the CCB and went about writing to each of them. Burdick continued to list new subscribers though 1938 when the subscription list appears to have been all of 34 people. Some of the subscribers in those years whose names continued to show up in CCB were Carter, John D. Wagner, Ray Walker, Don Van Brakle, P.M. Nagle, Harry Lilien, Paul Ritchie, Edwards Lancaster, and A.O.

  • The National Streak of Record Holders Rumierz, Murry and Quinn
    The National streak of record holders Rumierz, Murry and Quinn Left to right: record holders John Rumierz, B.A. Murry and Pat Quinn, photos G. Vrechek By George Vrechek Sure, there are memorable streaks in sports: DiMaggio’s 56 games, Cal Ripken Jr.’s 2,632 games, the Celtics’ 8 NBA Championships, UCLA’s 88 and UConn’s 90 basketball games. But what are the streaks in the hobby of sports collectibles? Topps has been issuing baseball cards for 68 years. Another less known streak, until now, has been set by three individuals who have been the only ones to hold tables at all 38 National Sports Collectors Conventions. Group #38 Table choice at the National is based on a point system that rewards those who have participated the most. The top priority group is currently #38 which equates to the number of years a table holder has been at the National. Typically at 7:15 AM on Friday during the National, table holders in the highest priority groups participate in a lottery and quickly select their locations for the next year. It is sort of like boarding a Southwest airline flight. If you sleep in, you lose your spot. You know everyone in your priority group and have an opportunity to briefly socialize with them. You also take note of anyone missing from prior years. Priority group #38 consists of John Rumierz, B.A. Murry and Pat Quinn, per that threesome. How did these fine sports collectibles athletes stay in such great physical and financial shape to keep hauling the cardboard and standing on those hard, concrete floors for so many years? John Rumierz When you attend a National, you will likely spot booths that feature advertising banners, high-end cases and attractive displays.

  • Interview with Bruce Yeko, the First Full-Time Card Dealer
    Right- Bruce Yeko today Interview with Bruce Yeko, the first full-time card dealer By George Vrechek Bruce Yeko was an interesting name that I remembered from the tales of the early collectors. I remembered reading that he had gone from Milwaukee to New York City in the early 1960s and had millions of cards coming out of every nook and cranny of his apartment. Long-time collector and SCD reader George Husby contacted me to let me know that 70-year-old Bruce Yeko was “in rare form” recently as he reminisced with George about his career as a baseball card dealer which started in the 1950s. I thought I should try to reminisce a little with Bruce as well so I gave him a call, sat back, and listened. Milwaukee Boy Visits Canada A young Bruce dabbled in late 40s and early 50s cards. The Topps 1952 high numbers proved an inspiration for the young Bruce Yeko getting into the card business. Bruce described how he had dabbled in baseball and football cards as a pre-teenager, remembering the awful colors of the 1948-9 Leafs and the less-than- exciting early Bowmans and 1951 Topps. He also collected comics and records. He was twelve years old when he visited Canada with his parents in 1952. He came across a store selling Topps cards and bought a few. To his surprise the cards were ones he had never seen before even though he had increased his “dabbling” in 1952 and had quite a few cards purchased from his meager allowance.

    Mars Attacks! - Tangor Responds An erblist.com ERBmania! Contributor Mars Attacks A series of Trading Cards TOPPS, 1962 Art layouts by Wally Wood Color Paintings by Norman Saunders Story by Len Brown and Woody Gelman Introduction & Afterword David Bruce Bozarth Copyright 2019 1 Mars Attacks! - Tangor Responds An erblist.com ERBmania! Contributor Introduction Summer, 1962. Hot in Houston. Most summers are but for my younger brother and I that summer really heated up! We discovered the Mars Attacks trading cards by Topps. The bubble gum was bad. The cards, however, were like nothing we'd ever seen, not even in those wonderful SF movies like The Day the Earth Stood Still , Invasion From Mars , Angry Red Planet , This Island Earth . This was the summer before Edgar Rice Burroughs paperbacks took the country by storm—the part of the country that actually paid attention to such things, of course. Mars Attacks is a 55 card set with a synopsis card and check list on the tail end. For young minds, each of the colorful cards inside that waxed wrapper were wonderfully gory, full-color, busty women, heads chopped off, scary aliens and heat rays and freeze rays and sunrays, oh my! Elsewhere Space was a general topic. The Air Force and the newly minted NASA took news with X-15, low orbit satellite launches, and talk of a space station! This was a very impressionable time for young boys with active imaginations who had already devoured Tom Swift AND Tom Swift Jr. and were well into Andre Norton, Robert A Heinlein and Arthur C.
