Continuing on the theme of Childhood Lizard Memories....
One of the countless things I used to collect as a kid was the series of trading cards called "Dinosaurs Attack!"
These were really graphic, had dinosaurs, dealt with crazy sci-fi stuff... & therefore was totally cool back when I was in grade school.
I found a great site that has scans of all the cards, front & back. I recommend looking at every single mini-masterpiece.
Like "V", the story behind these cards involves the influence of humanoid Saurian creatures.
One of my favorites that I had was this one- Ripped Out of Time, with a dinosaur's face getting peeled off due to some kind of tear in space-time:
Another memorable image was the back of "The Ultimate Sacrifice" with a truly touching portrayal of the scientist's agonizing demise:
I didn't have this particular one, but the Dinosaur Satan from the card "Supreme Evil" is a horrific drooling gem:
