Good
News Everyone!! Here is the first of 3
new collectible cards I painted for TOPPS revival of the Mars Attacks card
series. Here is the official press
release. “To jumpstart the release of
their forthcoming revival of MARS ATTACKS trading cards this fall, The Topps
Company, in conjunction with IDW Publishing, will give away an exclusive,
limited edition tie-in card at San Diego Comic-Con, July 17-21.
This exciting exclusive will be distributed only at San Diego
Comic-Con and will feature brand-new hand painted artwork by science
fiction artist Eric Wilkerson.
The
card, entitled "Invasion Begins" will be card #0 and will include an
all-new story that will kick off the upcoming Mars Attacks:
Invasion card set, the first all-new story-based MARS ATTACKS card set
in more than half a century, due in stores this October.
The
upcoming set will include all-new artwork by some of the industry's top talent,
including Earl Norem, Joe Jusko, Greg Staples, Glen Orbik, Alex Horley, Manuel Sanjulian,
Dan Brereton, Jim Nelson, Jeff Miracola and others. The story will tie in
to current and upcoming MARS ATTACKS comics from IDW.
During
San Diego Comic-Con, fans will be able to pick up the exclusive #0 card at the
IDW booth (#2643). Quantities will be strictly limited and supplies are
expected to go fast.”
For
fans of the series, if you are not able to make it to comic con this year, I
will be getting a ton of artist proofs of card #0. Proofs,
prints and original art are available.
Seen below is the final card. The TOPPS banner for IDW booth #2643 and facebook promo banner.
