"Do you dare imagine what it would be like to be the last man on Earth... or the last woman?"
It seems only fitting that in the midst of a global pandemic, during a resurgence of pop-up drive-in movie theater's that artist Richard Fowlks would release the 13 card promo set for his Drive-In Double Feature Series Two trading cards. Equally fitting are the films represented; the apocalyptic Last Man on Earth and Night of the Living Dead - a double barrel shotgun tour de force of what are proving to be eerily accurate predictions of how the world could be destroyed by disease.
But this isn't the first Drive-In Double Feature trading card set. Series One showcased horror classics White Zombie and The Ape by artists like Byron Winton. While that set was awesome, Series Two is the sequel that might just put the original in the ground!

Of all the things I don’t collect, trading cards has to be the one thing I wish I did. There are various reasons why I don’t but I’ll get into that later…
Art is a subjective passion. What is art to one person can be nothing other than tin cans glued together on a backboard to another. Whatever your taste in art, there is simply no denying if a particular artist has a unique and special gift. Robert Aragon has such a gift. An artist who spans several genres, from horror to portraiture and various genres in between, Robert is an artist of many talents. For the past two decades he has been a top force in the horror art genre. Whether creating comic book and CD covers or portraits for the likes of Sara Karloff or Bela Lugosi Jr. Robert infuses a sense of pathos in every piece he creates.

Science Fiction and Horror is the backbone of Famous Monsters. However, without the steadfast passion of fans these modern mythologies and the people behind them would have been long forgotten. After all, it was the very passion of Forrest J. Ackerman that allowed generations of fans to come together and share their own stories and passions about the various genres that make up the world FM inhabits.
One such storyteller is artist Robert Aragon, who for over twenty years has been creating and adding to the rich tradition of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror. Now, Robert’s wonderful artwork comes together for the first time to create a card set that involves all of the silver screen favorites. The base set includes 72 cards. Collectors will find autograph cards from Bela Lugosi, Jr., Julie Adams, Sara Karloff, Carla Laemmle, George Clayton Johnson, Jane Adams and many more. Cut signatures from Vincent Price...

The Chocolate Man by Waide Aaron Riddle
Enter into night
in this house
of dark and no light
Where Evil lives
and ghouls and specters
remember…
and never forgive.
This house known as
Blackraven, haunted
by death, where there
is no God…there is
no heaven.
“The Chocolate Man” by Waide Aaron Riddle is something that comes along only once in a generation. Something that stands out amongst the millions of words that are put down to paper on a daily basis, something that is different, bold and fresh.
“The Chocolate Man” cannot be pinned down to a genre. Is it a story? Is it a poem? Is it a children’s book? Is it a horror tale? Emphatically yes to them all.
What first stands out when starting on Mr. Riddle’s wonderful journey through 1899 New York is the impact, emotion and atmosphere he is able to portray with minimal words.
