by Bill Bengen

In the first half of the 1960's Topps produced a triumvirate of classic non-sports cards sets: "Civil War News" (1962), "Mars Attacks" (1962), and "Battle" (1965). These sets broke new ground in the gore, violence, and sexual content they depicted. Although "Horrors of War" had featured similar themes decades earlier (1938), the outraged reactions of parents at that time had forestalled any repeat appearance of this subject matter in non-sports cards until the free-wheeling decade of the 1960's arrived. In a sense, non-sports cards were just paralleling developments in the new popular medium of TV.

Of the three series, "Battle" receives the least attention among collectors. That is unfortunate, as the artwork in "Battle" is at least as good, and as provocative, as those in its two sister series. More on 1965 Battle

1940 Superman

In 1940 Gum Inc. produced a 72 card classic featuring Superman - the Man of Steel.  The cards are miniature works of art, with detailed stories on the reverse. The High #s from 49-72 are very scarce.
