THE SPIRIT TRADING CARDS

While we're on the subject of spirits, here's a look at Will Eisner's The Spirit trading cards issued by Kitchen Sink Press in 1995. The box set contained 36 cards.

MONSTERS TO LAUGH AT

Early last year I previewed a couple of my own homemade monster trading cards just for the fun of it. I had made a couple more but never posted them.

Here all all four of the "Monsters to Laugh At" cards. Hope they give you a chuckle on this Monday morning. I'm sure we can all use one.

RARE DWIGHT FRYE TRADING CARDS

The Good Stuff Cards Company of Katonah, New York released several monster card sets in the 1990's and 2000's. "Dwight Frye... True Character" was one of them. Released in 1998, only 950 complete sets were made, along with 50 uncut sheets. They were created with the assistance of Dwight Frye's son, Dwight D. Frye, Sara Karloff and Bela Lugosi, Jr. I consider myself lucky for finding the sample images below at an auction website quite a while ago. The complete set is now considered very rare.

As far as I can tell, Good Stuff is out of business. This is what I could find on the card sets they produced over a four-year period.
