Very cool, Pablo! The giant insect has a great Norm Saunders look to it! I just saw that this will be released with retro style boxes and wrappers, they look awesome!

Does this seem suspicious to anyone else? Or will we see cardboard crossover onto Broadway?

This was definitely fake. Topps and IDW Publishing announced it today, as noted in the graphic above.

So I guess that means you did the art that went out with the original press release, Rich?

To my surprise, I got a sales sheet for this set today. Didn't know Topps ever printed them anymore, but I guess Mars Attacks is the Flagship Brand right now.

Ed, does it have the card I did on it? If so, I'm gonna have to track some down!

I will be needing some of this product from you Ed.

Thanks Batman.

I've got a few more cards to show.

Ted: Yes, your card is on the sell sheet as well as you're noted as the artist.

Jason: I'm not hard to find, usually...

Pablo: I'd be happy to pull any of those sketches! All winners. Love the card design too.

Oh wow, ok. I know there were two email versions out there and one included my card, I just didn't know if it was on the actual printed one as well.

I definitely have to track some down! Figures, I won't be making it to Allentown this time.

Hiya folks...I am on the sets and just got clearance to post a couple of cards...

Please check out our facebook album of sketch cards. We'll be adding a few images every day (or as often as we can)

Here's some news on the Mars Attacks sketch cards including and artists roster and some sample sketch cards.

Sketch Cards From Mars

This should prove a popular release with a Artist list like that. I may try some of this as I never done the original or the re-release.

See tons more sketch cards here.

In the latest issue of Previews there is a short interview with Len Brown. Also, with the first issue of the comic book from IDW there will be 55 covers printed! They are doing the front and back of each card as a cover. There will also be a box set with all 55 covers AND a 56th cover exclusive to the box set. They are also making the packaging of the box set look like the original box from 1962.

Hello All! I was wondering if anyone knows what the ratios of the sketch cards will be. The quality of the cards shown here is tremendous! I can't believe these would be found one per box, but I would hope Topps wouldn't load one of their flagship brands with filler junk sketches.

Hoffmaster, these sketch cards are indeed 1 per hobby box.

Confirmed by the Martian Commander (AKA Topps).

Thanks for the quick response Martian Commander

Very happy with my new Mars Attacks wall graphic:

That looks great Batman. Who is offering those?
