2003 Inkworks Justice League

Inkworks JL:  Still waiting for the sequel to The Batman movie.  Doesn't mean we can't show him some love nonetheless.  Even animated, he looks menacing.

Justice League ran three seasons centering around Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern (John Stewart), Flash, Martian Manhunter and Hawkgirl.  The design is pretty nice even though the side containing the name feels large.  I like it.

I like the art overall from these screen captures.  The first card here stands out to me.

Maybe a Hawkgirl hot pack.  These packs only had seven cards in each.  This is a Friends and Foes card that comes one per pack.

The backs provide us some nice background on each character as well as information specific to the show.  

I do like these.  I've never seen the series but given time and the subscription I'd really like to watch it.  Fun pack of cards.

2002 Inkworks Scooby-Doo Movie

2002 Scooby-Doo:  This movie is always one I enjoy having on in the background when I'm doing something.  It's a fun movie that I enjoy and it's an easy watch.  This is my first look at this set.

I thought the casting on this film was great. The card design is okay but could be better.  Even with the logo and island themed trimmings it seems a bit bland.  Good screen shots though on the fronts.

The backs are fine.  They won't blow you away but there's enough there to let you know what is going on.

Nice shot of the hotel where much of the shenanigans take place.

Overall a good pack.  Cards showed off the cast which is what you hope for.  Wish there had been a few more cards. This Scooby-Doo sticker is a great way to end it.

1999 Inkworks Planet of the Apes Archives

1999 Planet of the Apes Archives: I'm a big fan of the Planet of the Apes including both the original movie series and the latest iteration.  A few of the early movies weren't that good but still a fun memory from my childhood.  They'd pop on TV from time to time and it made my week.  This is an iconic scene but I wish they had used a different shot from the scene.

Fun to see some of the renderings of what they came up with in initial designs for movies.  Each of the first two movies get 18 cards a piece while the final three have nine each in this set.

The base set is 90 cards.   I didn't pull any inserts but some of these are labeled like subsets like this In Production card.  I like the backs.  Decent color, design and write-up.  Nova...I may not remember that much about Beneath the Planet of the Apes but I remember Linda Harrison as Nova...for obvious reasons.  Autographs are possible as well but neither Charlton Heston nor Roddy McDowall were amongst those.

I admit that my memories of the sequels has waned as I don't watch those anymore.  They just aren't as good or do I have a real connection to them.  I saw the original many more times and I remember the series more than the sequels.  And when I see parts of the sequels it makes me in no hurry to rewatch them.  But these cards are still fun. I also enjoy the modern day takes on this franchise.

1999 Inkworks Sleepy Hollow Trading Cards

These are 1999 Inkworks Sleepy Hollow cards and another pack from Bob Rewak's eBay store.  I really like the movie so this was a good pickup.  I like the cards and the full bleed photos work well.  I'm not sure I'll pursue a complete set but I'm glad I gave these a look.

  There were 8 cards in the pack and either show movie scenes or highlight behind the scenes elements.

The backs are pretty simple with a synopsis pertaining to what is on the front of the card.  It is standard stuff but it works well here.

I enjoyed these card's simple design and nice photos.
