Yes, I remember the artillery limber - also I think someone impaled on a chevaux de frise?

Yep. I think you're right! Didn't they realise how much this would be imprinted on our young minds? But did it do us any long term harm? (damn! .. what have I said? .... sshhh, getagrip!)

Not forgetting the MARS ATTACKS set

Sorry, Bernie. After my time - but fun to know that the genre carried on!  

T13 - Would be so nostalgic seeing them again.

I think the Mars Attacks cards may have been marginally  before your time!  I recall having a few, and then they were banned for being outrageously gory, and my parents confiscated the few I had! I think it was very much about the same time, possibly with the Mars Attacks ones slightly earlier. We are talking c1962, I think.

Brilliant find T13! Some absolute crackers there! Didn't remember just how graphic the images were in that series.

Interesting. Didn't realise they were that early (was thinking of the 1996 'Mars Attacks!' movie). Being marginally before my time is about right. I was 8 in 1962 and don't remember encountering bubble cards until I was a little older.

I was also 8 in 1962, and was just encountering them!

I was 9 in '62.

Have to admit, I thought I'd collected the whole set......as near as.....But looking through the thumbnails, there were only a couple out of the 20 or so I looked at, that looked really familiar.

They were rather gory !

Aspirational then?

I still remember that the last one I got was the First Battle of Bull Run card!  Why? Beats me!

The one that I really recognised was the chap impaled on the spiky 'fence'.
What were those barricades called ?

Cheers - Phil

Chevaux de friese? Abatis? Spanish riders? Palisade?

Googling images of the above......

Chevaux de friese appears to be the one I was after......Or are the terms, in any way, 'interchangeable' ?
Thanks, Kitty.

I suspect they shared an office and borrowed each other's socks quite often, at least.

Chevaux de Frise is the correct spelling.

Sorry to go all "FK" on everyone.

PD do them.
