Mars Attacks - Anyone know who artis MAB is?

The sketch card I have has that as a signature and I do not know who it is and cannot seem to find any information to figure it out. Thanks, Richard.

    My guess is that it is Michael Banks (sugar fueled)

    The sketch is quite nice. Once I get a new scanner hooked up, I will scan and post it.

    Same as the artist who signed this one on eBay? (have to scroll down to see image of back on card)

    eBay auction signed by MAB
    I collect Vintage Cards, Commemorative Sets, and way too many vintage and modern player collections in Baseball (180 players), Football (175 players), and Basketball (87 players). Also have a Dallas Cowboy team collection.

    If it says MAB, like that, I take back the Michael Banks. Not sure who MAB is then.

    Yes, very similar to that, except my sketch card is a full color painting.



  • You can try this. It's a complete checklist of all the sketch artist.

    FYI: This is a good example of one of the things, TOPPS, did wrong with this set. That is, getting these Artist who have been selected, to do the 'correct related to the 50th only', beginning on these sketch 1/1 cards, a lot earlier in the year.
    Furthermore, giving the time frame a very short window, or more likely, the problem lies with the TOPPS execs. thought process, to have printed on the backs discription, the Artist's name.
    They just did the ol' generic job on the backs. All the friggin' same! Is it that much more expensive, at cost, to include 100 or so names on the back of those cards by that same Artist?
    All artist, especially, comic artist, sign their name in a tradmark way. So, why didn't TOPPS take that into concideration? Because they don't know how to time it right with the release!

    Yes we can't wait for this Mars Attacks set to be released. Our curiosity has been pearced. But, I do believe that 99% of the fans rather not be left in the dark like this person is. You can't blaim the artist for the way they sign.

    Here are some of the sketch cards I pulled out from packs. The first one is the MAB artist. Any ideas? The last one is Davis number 7/106.
