Super Bubble was the Donruss brand:

The best thing about this set released by Fleer in 1965 is actually the wrapper, although the cards themselves are pretty good:







The set sold well enough to spawn a sequel;

Nice. that original Weird-Oh's set was re-released recently, yes? Never saw the Baseball ones.

While not specifically monster card sets, plenty of monsters are featured in these three card sets:

1966 Donruss Marvel Super Heroes





1975 Topps Comic Book Heroes Stickers



The checklist card backs were also puzzle pieces:

Very cool. I know I had some of those Donruss cards from 1966; don't think I had any of the others.

Oooh, those space cards are nice. Norman Saunders, maybe?

My friend Tim Ferrante was recently nice enough to send me a complete set of the NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD Trading Cards he published. Here are the first 7 of the set, along with Tim's own personal card.



...and here's the backs of those same cards:

No, not the Space cards. I believe Norm's first project with Topps was the Civil War cards in 1962.

Nice, Hepcat. I've got a few of the space cards, but I've never seen the wrapper.

Love the wrappers on these. I cringe at the dozens and dozens of wrappers I casually tossed back in the day (Spook Theater, Munsters, 007, Wally Wood's Insult cards, etc.)

Here are some original art sketch cards by me -- some for the monsterwax card sets, also some from Breygent's "Project Superpowers" set.  The rest are just ones I whipped up for convention sales.  Did some Vampirellas for Breygent, too -- but sold 'em....
