Item Description
8.5x11.5”. Issued in 1954. 16 pages. Contains complete set of 100 numbered thin paper picture cards, all mounted at appropriate spots. Page design includes additional related images along with story text. Great cover art includes images of the tentacled Martians, spaceship, radio tower, “NBC” microphone. The Martians are featured on a total of 23 cards and also appear on every page as part of the additional story art. Cards are nicely illustrated and images tell the story from beginning to end. Cover has obvious aging and scattered wear including handling creases and surface paper rubs although mostly on margins, front cover art not really affected. Pages also have noticeable scattered margin wear and aging. Cards have typical related wear as mounted but remain clean. Album itself is VG, cards are VG to Exc. Great album for this sci-fi classic. The only time we’ve offered this complete album in our 43 years. From the Richard Merkin Collection and comes with Hake's COA.
