In PCE2008, Todd says it's the Creature from the Black Lagoon. I'm pretty sure I saw it years ago - not sure I ever had it.

Also, I was looking through PCE2008 earlier today. It has a listing for a "Monster Bash 2000" promo (p. 100) and it says that's the hardest to find Good Stuff cards promo. There's an image of it on the same page.

Hey Jess, I just found the Promo for the one you mentioned "Monster Magazine & Fanzine Collector's Guide #2" It features Swamp Thing rising up (presumably from the swamp) with a bunch of the magazines behind him collage style. A Super Looking card. If I knew how to post a pic here, I would LOL

Yeah, Adrian, I used to be able to send a small box (approx. the size of a brick) to just about anywhere in the world (France, Australia, New Zealand) for about $8 USD. Now, it's more like $30 or a little more. A friend in Switzerland says it costs him more than that (more like $40-45). And every country has its own excuse.

The bottom of the back of the card reads:
To order additional sets of MONDO SUBURBIA CARDS, send $5.00 + $1.00 postage and handling per set to the Starhead Comix address. Foreign orders add $1.00

Interesting how much international shipping costs have skyrocketed...

Hey Jess, thanks for continuing to add your excellent thoughts to my thread, I may have just scored the above mentioned "Monster Bash 2000" promo, will let you know when it arrives on the doorstep...

That would be a nice pick-up. I think I saw that for sale a few years ago.

this is officially the longest "thread" I've posted here on Card Talk in over 20 years of being a contributor.. WOOHOO me! lol

Hi Adrian
You should be able to figure out all the Promo Noir cards you can
The next Promo Encyclopedia is apparently being put out in a few months and is an on line issue and every promo card from 1988 is actually pictured in it so should be a very welcome addition for all promo collectors, do not know how much it will cost but should be advertised on this forum soon.
Would Boris Karloff Beyond the Monster 1 and 2 come under this description

Gday Ross, long time no chat, thanks for the suggestion.
Yes the 1998 Boris Karloff: Beyond the Monsters definitely fits in the Promo-Noir category. keep the suggestions coming mate.

The Boris Karloff: Beyond the Monster Series 2 P4, actually the only promo for the set but it continues the numbering of Series 1.

Yes, John, I try to remind myself that Adrian's idea for this thread is not simply talking about or showing cards that were printed in black and white. We're showing to some extent how that genre/style of film noir has been depicted on cards.

"Film Noir" as a genre is completely separate from monsters. None of the cards mentioned in this thread (with the possible exception of "Sin City") have anything to do with film noir.

Well, Adrian never said he was looking for film noir on cards. I was the one who talked more about that but even I never said monster stuff was film noir. We were looking at degrees of association and artistic choices. Maybe this is more of a monster/cult following cards done in black & white thread but then Adrian did open with a card genre name as a question. In any case, it's good that you are helping to keep the thread running. It's great to have a place to show some cards with old monsters.

I don't care what it's about i'm just happy to see some cards in a thread that i've actually got.

Thanks Wolfie, keep the pics coming mate...

I have a boxed set of 36 numbered trading cards plus 4 unnumbered trading cards called The Autumn of Fear - The Life and Crimes of Jack the Ripper issued by Fantaco dated 1993 with text by Deborah Hyde and illustrated by Floyd Jones Hughes. Concerning the 4 unnumbered cards three of them have the sme back and the fourth has been designed to show an autograph or two judging by the space and the autographs. None of the images appear in the numbered cards although the centre part of the image bearing the autographs is shown as part of the box design. The three unnumbered cards could be classed as a type of promo/advertisment card. What do you think guys?

The images are shown below:-

The last image above is the image on the autographed card and appears on the box.

I have edited to correct the image that did not load propertly which is below:-

I don't think I've ever seen or even heard of that set before. What's on the backs of the other three unnumbered cards?

John Levitt, a superb addition to the "promo-noir" genre. the set looks very cool and the "ADVERTISING" card, I would definitely slide into the promo category. I, like Jess have never heard of this set before, and keen to see the other backs. thanks for sharing...
