1951 Bowman Red Menace #23, Ghost City 😱
"Ghost City", card #23 from the 1951 Bowman Red Menace set is considered the most iconic and haunting card in the entire Cold War propaganda series.
It depicts a skeleton-like spirit looming over a destroyed New York City after an atomic attack, warning of nuclear devastation while advocating for peace through the United Nations.
Published by the Bowman Gum Company, the 48-card set featured the chilling header “Children's Crusade Against Communism” on every back to influence youth during the McCarthy Red Scare era
