The Edward D. Wood, Jr. Players Trading Cards

Long celebrated as “the worst film director of all time,” Ed Wood, Jr. holds a special place in Hollywood history. This card set was issued prior to the Tim Burton film which revived interest in Ed’s bizarre career. In fact, Kitchen Sink Press’ Hollywood attorney gave this card set to Burton and it may have inspired his film. The 36 cards are illustrated by Drew Friedman, the well-known underground cartoonist (Blab!) whose spot-on pointillistic caricatures can be seen regularly in mainstream magazines like Entertainment Weekly and Time.
