Mars Attacks is a series of science fiction trading cards produced
by Topps in 1962, depicting the gruesome invasion of Earth by
Martians. The story unfolds over the course of the 55 card series,
showing futuristic battle scenes with Martians, and their cruel,
often bizarre methods of attack and torture. The series culminates
with a human insurrection and the destruction of Mars. The short
lived series retained it's devoted following and quickly became a
collectors item and remains hugely popular and influential today.
Tim Burton's 1996 movie adaptation of the story brought Mars
Attacks back to the forefront of pop culture and the upcoming 50th
anniversary in 2012 will do the same, introducing the story to a
new generation of fans. The book Mars Attacks will be the only book
ever created on the topic (the series was reprinted only once, 18
years ago in 1994 and is a collectors item). The book will include
rare and never before seen material (sketches, concept art, test
market materials), as well as an introduction by the series'
creator, Len Brown, and an afterword by Zina Saunders, daughter of
the original artist.
