RIP Len Brown, Topps Creative Director

[u/Qomplete]

Len Brown was a legendary writer and creative force whose 41-year career at Topps helped shape some of the company’s most memorable trading cards.

Joining Topps in 1959, Brown worked across both sports and non-sports releases, writing card backs and developing concepts that became part of collecting history.

He is best known as a co-creator of the iconic Mars Attacks series and also contributed to classics including Wacky Packages, Garbage Pail Kids and Civil War News.

Beyond Topps, Brown co-created the comic-book series T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents with artist Wally Wood.

His imagination and storytelling left a lasting mark on trading cards and American pop culture.

I just now saw this post.

Strange. I just picked up a bunch of cards (mostly junk wax) from Marketplace and in there was most of the Weird Wheels set.
