1938 Horrors of War #240, The Frightful Cost of War ⚰ Card Back
Absolutely nothing!
The back outlines some of the bargains that come with war.
The card back deserves its own thread, IMO.
Nobody despises war more than the soldiers, many of whom pay the ultimate price.

1938 Horrors of War #1, Marco Polo Bridge 💥
The 1938 Horrors of War card set is significant because it documented real-world conflict and horrors associated with armed conflict at a time when global tensions were rising.
The artwork is graphic and the narratives on the backs were stark; making it one of the most influential and socially conscious non-sport sets ever produced.
This is Card #1 and historically important because it depicts the incident that ignited the Second Sino-Japanese War and foreshadowed the broader conflicts that would culminate in World War II. Its placement as the first card underscores the set’s intent to confront collectors immediately with the grave impact of global events.
