Stan Lee Battles Martians

At this point, there's very little that Stan Lee hasn't accomplished. Teaming up with The Topps Company is one of the newer accolades and the partnership will lead to quite the exclusive at Comikaze Expo. That exclusive is a trading card featuring Stan Lee himself fighting against the iconic Martian invader.

"In 1962 when Mars Attacks was making its mark on the world of trading cards, Stan and his stable of sensational superhero stories were transforming the landscape of comic books," said Topps' Adam Levine. "I can't think of any better match-up than these two pop culture icons to face off in the most outrageous, out-of-this world trading card crossover we've ever seen!"

Limited to just 2500 cards and fully painted by Joe Jusko, the card entitled "Stan Strikes!" will be given away FREE on a first-come-first-served basis and available ONLY at Comikaze. Topps will also be on hand at the show to promote the release of Mars Attacks: Invasion, the modern revival of the classic card series and the first all-new story based Mars Attacks card series in more than half a century. The set boasts all-new art by some of the most renowned illustrators in the industry, including Jusko, Earl Norem, Glen Orbik, Greg Staples, Alex Horley, Sanjulian, Dan Brereton and many more. A limited edition print featuring Jusko's stunning painting will also be available for sale at the Topps booth, signed by the artist, while supplies last.
