ANGEL: SEASON TWO TRADING CARDS

The Sequel To An Inkworks Trading Card Success Story

 

RALEIGH, NC  – September 7, 2001 – Inkworks and Twentieth Century Fox Licensing and Merchandising (Fox L&M) announce the introduction of a new series of premium trading cards based on the second season of Fox’s hit television series on The WB, Angel.  Inkworks’ all-new Angel: Season Two set is a sequel to the popular premier card set that was introduced last year, and includes nine unique autographed cards, the largest number ever included in an Inkworks product.  Autographed cards include Charisma Carpenter (Cordelia) and a special dual autograph card signed by Julie Benz (Darla) and Juliet Landau (Drusilla) as well as seven other cards personally signed by stars of the show. 

The Angel: Season Two base set of 90 all-new cards includes the always popular Episode Cards and “Demon Compendium” plus new subsets “The Bad Ol’ Days” and “Behind the Music.”  In addition to the base set, several levels of bonus cards will be made available including a City of Angel Foil Puzzle, L.A. Women Cards, an Angel Heart Card and four different limited edition box loader cards. 

"In its second season Angel established itself as a stand alone series with its own fan base, increasing the demand for specialty trading cards,” said Martha Modlin, executive vice president of Inkworks.  “Angel and Buffy the Vampire Slayer may share many fans, yet Angel’s unique look and feel lends itself very well to trading cards with interesting characters, compelling story lines and, most importantly, fans who are passionate about the show.”

City of Angel Foil Puzzle – Nine cards featuring Angel, Cordelia, Wesley, and Gunn (Approximately 1:11 packs).  An uncut mini-press sheet of this puzzle (limited to 500 sequentially numbered sheets) is also available.
