One trading card from the Red Menace collection, "23. Ghost City" illustrates a looming Grim Reaper figure amidst a destructed metropolis. The reverse side contains a propaganda narrative regarding the after-effects of an atomic attack on a "great American city." The text alludes that Communists rely on fear as a tactic to dismantle the strength of America, but that the United Nations is fully prepared for any attack. The rest of the Fight the Red Menace: The Children's Crusade Against Communism Trading Cards is available in GLC09627.01-.48.
