Some months ago Alan Friswell, the bloke who made the CFZ Feegee Mermaid and also the guy responsible for some of the most elegantly macabre bloggo postings, wrote me an email.
He had an idea for a new series for the bloggo. Quite simply he has an enormous collection of macabre, fortean, odd and disturbing magazine and newspaper articles, and he proposed to post them up on the bloggo.
I'm very glad that Colin (Higgins) is obviously as warped as I am, and a fearless aficionado of the more gruesome days of our youth. Yes, indeed, I remember the horrific Civil War cards, which although originally produced way before my time, were still sold in my local newsagents many years later and became part of my collection. So these are for Colin--and for Steve--plus a link to a Civil War cards site where all the cards can be viewed. They were actually produced in the early 1960s by Topps, who also created the Mars Attacks cards, and illustrated by the ghoulishly brilliant Norman Saunders.
And for Colin's information, not to mention all you other morally bankrupt individuals out there, there is some unbelieveably gross and grisly stuff waiting to appear on this blog--so watch out....
