I’m a bit out of the bubblegum card loop (I think I stopped collecting after I amassed thousands of Garbage Pail Kids in the 80’s). Are there any modern cards as awesome as this Mars Attacks series from 1962?
I’m sure many of you are familiar with the Tim Burton flick, featuring these lovely martians:
But I encourage you to check out the original art by comic/pulp artist extraordinaire, Norm Saunders.

No, There is nothing as cool as this except for my very geeky love of the Wizard cards in Chocolate Frogs… today’s bubble gum is like pink play-dough, eternally soft and moist because of a heapin’ helping of chemicals!
Oh, man you are bringing back some great childhood memories. And no, nothing comes close to the artistry of these babies. Wish I still had my partial set.
I wish you did too, so could could send pictures. 🙂
