The big draw of 2013 Mars Attacks Invasion is that it offers a new story for the classic trading card franchise. However, the set's various autograph sets touch on more than just the new cards.

Classic Creator Autographs are signed by people who worked on past Mars Attacks projects including the original cards and comics from the 1990s. Among them is Charlie Adlard, perhaps best known for his work on the Walking Dead comic. He has been the book's artist since issue 7.

The two-card Comic Creator Autographs set highlights John Layman and John McCrea, the creators behind the latest Mars Attacks comics from IDW.
