One trading card from the Red Menace collection, "47. War-Maker" depicting an exaggerated portrait of Mao Tse-tung with a green face and included in the background is a monster wielding a large sword. Reverse side contains propaganda narrative describing Mao Tse-tung's efforts to bring communism to China. Text mentions that it was successful partly due to the fact that Russia supplied China with weapons. Also includes a quote by Mao, "History, he says, 'is written in blood and iron.'" Concludes that Mao is a serious threat to innocent people.
