About 20 years ago when I first started using the internet one of the things I found was an archive of scanned Mars Attacks cards. I had only heard them refered to before then so it was interesting to see what made them so infamous and controversial..fast forward to 2012 and here we have what is essentially a coffee table book featuring the original 55 cards (both front and back) and latter day versions. There's also a little history of the sets which puts them in context of the early 60s era. The 1996 movie only gets a sentence..probably a rights issue. The book design is top-notch including the dust jacket that mimics the original bubble gum card wrapper.
