Zelda Welcomes You To The Mars Attacks Picture Archive.

In 1962, Topps released the bubble-gum cards known as "Mars Attacks". They were the creation of Len Brown and Woody Gelman. They were painted by the famous pulp-comic artist, Norm Saunders. Presented here, for the first time on the Net, are scanned reproductions of their genius...

The cards that appear in this portion of the gallery never appeared in the original set. Instead, they appeared in the 1994 "archives" set. They represent the "homage subset" or "missing cards" that were painted in 1989 by Herb Trimpe and Earl Norem, but were never released until 1994.

Some of the pictures are based on Wally Wood's original pencil sketches, and others are new concepts. The story is basically a retelling of the original one, with the addition of the more peaceful "Paeec" Martians and the warlike "Gnards". Presented here, for the first time on the Web, are scanned reproductions of their genius...
