Excerpt from Original Description:
What do you do when you have colossal artists doing colossal paintings? Put them on Colossal Cards, of course. In an unprecedented move, FPG created these gigantic trading cards with full-color fronts and backs, designed to fit all standard comic sleeves. The first Colossal Cards series was an immediate sellout, and fans demanded another. Taken from some of FPG's most popular trading card series, this second series features giant cards by ten more artistic giants: Clyde Caldwell, Roger Dean, Bob Eggleton, Joe Jusko, Michael Kaluta, David Mattingly, Sanjulian, Barclay Shaw, James Warhola, and Tim White. Is it any surprise that this series followed its predecessor in selling out as well?

It took larger-than-life fantasy illustrator Joe Jusko to capture the larger-than-life adventures penned by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Popular with both trading card fans and lovers of fine fantasy illustration, Joe Jusko's Edgar Rice Burroughs Collection 1 and Collection 2 were tremendous hits. By demand, here is a selection that presents Jusko's artwork the way it was painted: BIG and BOLD! Tarzan, John Carter of Mars, and David Innes of Pellucidar are among the denizens of Burroughs' imagination that Jusko has brought to life with power and detail in this magnificent collection.

From the pen and mind of classic author Edgar Rice Burroughs to the brush and artistic vision of Joe Jusko comes a second Colossal Card series. Beyond Krenkel and St. John, Frazetta and Boris, Jusko has painted the most extensive collection of Burroughs characters and settings to date, and only FPG has brought them to you. Picking up where the hit Jusko Colossal Cards Series 1 left off, this series reproduces 50 of his best Burroughs pieces featuring well-known characters such as Tarzan and John Carter of Mars, as well as depicting scenes from Burroughs novels never before painted. At Colossal Card size, these cards are large enough to properly capture not only the vibrant colors of the jungle, but the otherworldly tones of alien planets as well.

Excerpt from Original Description:
Keith Parkinson first made a name for himself with TSR (Dungeons & Dragons, Dragonlance, and Forgotten Realms) where his art graced everything from book and magazine covers, to game boxes and modules. Soon after, he was painting book covers for best-selling authors such as Terry Brooks, David Eddings, and Anne McCaffrey. With FPG, Parkinson enjoyed great success, first with his fan-favorite trading card series and then as co-creator of the popular GUARDIANS collectible card game. So, as a colossal name, it was only natural to feature his work at a Colossal size. Through these "frameable" cards, you can watch as every twig, every leaf, and every inch of every dragon scale comes to life in brilliant clarity. Read more about Parkinson's career path and the origin of GUARDIANS in an interview presented on the card backs. Each eye-popping detail is not to be missed.

Excerpt from Original Description:
Have you ever seen a big, red dragon soar down from the skies, breathing fire? Ever walk the streets of Waterdeep alone and unarmed after midnight? How about attempt to look a fire minion straight in the eyes, as it rises from the flames of the abyss? Well, now you can...but only through the creative vision and artistic excellence of TSR's great fantasy artists. Certainly, the worlds of TSR (producers of the wildly popular Dungeons & Dragons, Dragonlance, Forgotten Realms, and Ravenloft systems) exist in the imagination only. Yet, if not for the remarkable art work which has breathed life into a myriad of fanciful characters, kingdoms, and monsters, these realms just might not exist at all. Here, FPG has collected fifty of TSR's best-known and well-loved pieces. Suitable for framing, these magnificent images from artists Jeff Easley, Larry Elmore, Fred Fields, Paul Jaquays, Dana Knutson, Alan Pollack, Robh Ruppel, and Tony Szczudlo are barely contained within the borders of these Colossal Cards.
