Mars Attacks is a science fiction-themed trading card series released in 1962 by Topps. The cards feature artwork by science fiction artists Wally Wood and Norman Saunders. The cards form a story arc, which tell of the invasion of Earth by cruel, hideous Martians under the command of a corrupt Martian government who conceal the fact from the Martian populace that Mars is doomed to explode and, therefore, proposes a colonization of Earth to turn it into their new home world. The cards depict futuristic battle scenes and bizarre methods of Martian attack, torture and slaughter of humans, as well as various Earth nations being attacked.

The first four trading cards of the 1962 Topps trading card series come alive with story-telling and graphic art as the trading card image’s “story/backstory” are presented in this classic mini-comics series from Pocket Comics. It’s Mars Attacks at its finest, in these almost trading card like size (4.5″ x 3″) mini comics, guaranteed to thoroughly please the Mars Attacks enthusiasts… leaving them wanting for more.
