Each postcard features the title, date, publisher, and artist credited on the back, making it an essential purchase for aficionados.

User Reviews

“This is a great collection of cards, comparable in quality to the other 100 postcard sets around. The cards are stout enough, a bit thicker than the Marvel 100 card set, but not quite as thick as the Puffin or Vanity Fair card sets. The paper feels nice, and each card gives you the details about the comic book. The box they arrive in is very nice, sturdy, and the lid image is embossed. As for the card assortment, here's the breakdown. There are five categories of comic represented: romance, earthbound mystery (generally sci-fi/fantasy), space adventures, crime, and war comics. And here's the proportioning:
Romance: 29
Earthbound mystery: 30
Space adventures: 14
Crime: 19
War comics: 8
All in all, I highly recommend this set. It's a wonderful selection, with a lot of great (read: hilariously insane) covers.” miranda

“I'm an avid post carder, I send over 300 post cards a year. I've bought just about every series of postcards out in print and I must say this box set has one of the highest qualities I've ever seen. Usually with a 100 postcard set, I'll end up using aobut 50 to 60 of the post cards, the rest not being memorable enough to merit using. With this set however, 100% of the images are great and I can totally use. The box also contains three different genre's, lovelorn, terror, and action comics. The quality of the card stock is amazing too.” melvin
