LOT OF 21/100 EXTREMELY HARD TO FIND ARGENTINA VINTAGE SPACE TRADING CARDS PUBLISHED IN 1971 WITH A SCIENCE FICTION HISTORY FROM OESTERHELD AND ALBERTO BRECCIA. VARYING CONDITIONS.
Platos Voladores Al Ataque! (Flying Saucers Attack) is a 100 card series inspired by Mars Attacks. It was issued during the 1970s in a very novel fashion: Only one card was inserted along with three sports cards per pack of Super Futbol (Super Soccer) cards. The artwork by Alberto Breccia wasn't of the caliber of the great Norm Saunders, but Oesterheld's script was far more sophisticated. Check it out:
Aliens from Pluto discover that human heart transplants allow them to live 10,000 years or more, almost like immortals. So all the Plutonians want transplants. They invade the Earth to harvest the hearts. They have weird weapons, like the Terror Blaze and the Super-neutron Ray. The Earth resists heroically, but alien underground digging machines produce huge earthquakes and massive destruction.
The invaders produce new weapons, like the Anger Ray, which transforms tame Earth animals like cows and sheep in to very dangerous beasts. The plants are also transformed, allowing them to catch and consume humans. Several kinds of carnivorous dinosaurs are regenerated and run amok. Earthlings counter-attack using super-tanks, but they are smashed by a meteor-rain produced by the invaders. The aliens also use a Size Ray that makes insects and animals hungry giants. A young boy is also effected by the ray. He uses his size to fight the invaders, but is eventually killed for his efforts.
Saturnites, the natural enemies of the Plutonians, arrive to help the Earthlings. But that help is actually self serving: Saturn wants our planet too, and they attack with a giant laser ring that cuts though cities and kills millions. The Earth is almost destroyed. London, Paris, and Rio are erased. The Saturnites turn their attention to Buenos Aires...
Meanwhile, a group of kids and their teacher devise a plan to take the war to Saturn. They have secret designs to a device which the inventor claims can actually alter a planet's orbit. They rocket to Saturn and use the machine to push the planet into the path of Pluto. When the two worlds collide, we discover that a species can only survive as long as their birth planet does, even if they exist on another planet. All the invaders on Earth die and humanity is saved. The young team returns home as heroes and an arduous reconstruction begins.
Even with the happy ending, it's a depressing tale of mass death and destruction, especially for a card set.........
