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.
Morrissey is amongst the most provocative and controversial
performers in popular music. From the formation of his Manchester
band The Smiths in 1982 through to the release of his acclaimed
2009 solo album "Years of Refusal", his career has spanned 50 UK
top 40 singles and 20 UK Top 10 albums. This paperback edition of
the bestselling hardback biography gets behind the public image to
tell Morrissey's story in the man's own words and explores in
detail the extraordinary lyrical content of the songs. It also
celebrates the many artists Morrissey has elevated to iconic status
- via the lyrics of Smiths covers including Cilla Black, Dusty
Springfield, Billy Fury, Marc Bolan and the New York Dolls.
