Affiliate Link – Mars Attacks Classics
One of the things I’ve been searching for here at home is the old Topps Mars Attacks comics that were released in the mid-nineties. I know they should be in one of the boxes of comics, but so far I’ve had no luck finding the single issues. Don’t you hate when you can’t find something?
Well, IDW to the rescue! This summer they’re releasing Mars Attacks Classics, Volume One*, a trade paperback collection of the Topps comics. Fantastic! Now as soon as I click pre-order those old comics in my collection are sure to surface . . .
Mars Attacks Classics brings back your favorite comics from the past. This volume collects the first five-issue miniseries from Topps Comics, and features stories by beloved creators like Keith Giffen, Charlie Adlard (The Walking Dead), and more!

I believe those Topps comics were penciled by Charlie Adlard of Walking Dead fame…
@Poe Ghostal – And if I remember right the comics were flip-books with Giffen art on the reverse side.
Adlard also illustrated the X-Files comics for Topps. My one complaint with his Mars Attacks and X-Files are was that it always felt kinda basic; no stylized elements at all. Straight illustration.
