Thank you so much for posting these, They bring back alot of great memories.David Johnstonenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21385664.post-72804932637542072422012-01-17T01:52:48.287-05:002012-01-17T01:52:48.287-05:00I can't believe Finlay's name was new to m...I can't believe Finlay's name was new to me - I recognize some of the work.

I'm a great fan of the cards, I have a few opened packages around somewhere. Did you know Tim Burton had plans to make a film version of them but did Mars Attacks instead? Another card series you can expect to see here is The Outer Limits, along with a lot of other interesting Outer Limits imagery.<br /><br />Suzanne - Always a welcome comment from an attractive woman with Suehiro Maruo tattoos.<br /><br />Anon - if you came looking for monsters, you'll find them here.Aeronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15743156867815095055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21385664.post-27194578430715947032011-08-29T16:17:08.000-04:002011-08-29T16:17:08.000-04:00Thank you for these, I also had not seen some of t...Thank you for these, I also had not seen some of them.
