A set of 21 American strip cards titled The Nightmare of Warfare. This subset focuses on the Japanese invasion of China. Rare. m

Price: $630.00

Note: The anonymous strip card series entitled “The Nightmare of Warfare” was a copycat version of Gum, Inc.’s more elaborate “Horrors of War” set. The design on coloration of the cards and the intentional pirating of titles and text from a competitor all point to the W.S. Corporation as the producer. The artwork is limited to black silhouettes set against yellow backgrounds, with an occasional red accent thrown in. The vertically-aligned backs have the set title, card number, a “series of 48” line, card title, and text – all printed in black ink on gray stock. Since these are strip cards, one or two edges on all cards will be rouletted.
