Mars Attacks Giveaway at SDCC
In addition to the new cards in the Mars Attacks trading card set (mentioned here) there will also be nine chase cards given away at San Diego Comic Con next. I’m loving the idea, but I’m dreading the thought of finding time at the show to track down all nine cards. I bet it would be a poor use of my authority to send staff out into the convention with orders to bring back all nine trading cards.
Topps is pleased to announce a set of promotional MARS ATTACKS trading cards for distribution exclusively at San Diego Comic-Con in July. This set of 9 free cards, featuring all-new art by Eisner award-winning artist John McCrea, is timed to coincide with the release of Mars Attacks Heritage, a deluxe re-issue of the original trading card series.
The giveaway will be the centerpiece of several events planned for San Diego Comic-Con, including a MARS ATTACKS 50th Anniversary panel on Saturday. To find the cards, fans must visit nine different booths throughout the convention.
When all of the cards are collected they will form larger image which showcases characters from IDW’s upcoming MARS ATTACKS ongoing comic book series by John Layman and McCrea.
