Topps has announced an exclusive Mars Attacks: Invasion promo card for Stan Lee's Comikze Expo taking place Nov 1-3 in Los Angeles.



Topps has announced they will be handing out 2500 promos. The card is painted by Joe Jusko and is entitled (appropriately enough) "Stan Strikes". It'll be given away while supplies last. A limited-edition print featuring Joe's painting will also be available for sale at the Topps booth, signed by the artist, while supplies last.

Topps will be setting up at the show for the first time. More info on the show can be found at comikazeexpo.com

OMG! That's fantastic! A must have!

I agree. Anyone going?

Can't believe Stan would still be writing old school with a typewriter. Now the question comes, is this story in modern times or does it take place earlier? Stan looks a bit younger but not that much younger.

Someone get me one too.

There IS a story on the back, but it is more of a "timeless" type of thing and can take place in any time you wish it to.

Hot off the presses... still at the printer, even.

Anyone attending this weekend ?

We have a new story up today on the blog about the "Stan Strikes" promo cards. Topps has turned Joe Jusko's awesome art for "Stan Strikes" info a print and is offering the print in limited-edition format (signed by Joe) and seriously limited-edition versions (signed by both Joe Jusko and Stan Lee).

I don't have pics handy, but there will be a new set of metal cards available from Leomark Studios for their "Movie Maze" product. It's a set of 8 cards total.

In the past they've shared a booth with Omega 1 Ventures but I'm not sure if that is their plan this year.

I don't have any other information than that sorry.
