MARS ATTACKS
http://www.bubblegum-cards.com/Mars-Attacks/index.html
Mars Attacks! is a 1996 comedy science fiction movie by Tim Burton based on the popular card series Mars Attacks. It was released in 1996 by Warner Bros.
The film combines the storyline and tone of a B-movie spoof with the budget of a blockbuster movie. It features an ensemble cast, and is highly dependent upon special effects. The soundtrack by Danny Elfman makes extensive use of the theremin (an instrument the composer previously used in Pee-wee's Big Adventure).
The film received mixed reviews from US critics, though it was more popular in Europe. It grossed some $101 million worldwide, and was considered a moderate box office success because of[citation needed] its $70 million cost.

MARS ATTACKS was a bubble-gum card set produced by "Bubbles, Inc." (an alternate company name for Topps) in 1962. The cards were the idea of Len Brown and Woody Gelman. Some of the early pencil roughs were done by Wally Wood, a well-known artist for E.C. Comics. The final cards were pencilled by Bob Powell, and the painting was done by Norm Saunders. Norm was one of the most prolific and creative artists of the pulp era. Len has recently retired after over 40 years at Topps.
