ROSAN'S FAMOUS MONSTER CARDS 1963


At sometime or another during the development of these cards, Rosan must have struck a deal with Warren or Warren must have struck a deal with Rosan, because, besides the title of the card set, Rosan included advertising from the pages of FM and Monster Kids could order Captain Company monster merchandise right of the cards!

The photos and illos used on the card fronts were mostly from AIP pics. At the time, AIP was very generous in sharing publicity with anyone who'd promote them. After all photos and pressbooks were really cheap advertising for a studio on a tight budget, and nobody squeaked louder than AIP!

Here are the next 20 card fronts of the series and a few more samples of the card backs.
