A true gem of postwar pop culture, the 1960 Funny Valentines set by Topps remains one of the most memorable—and mischievous—non-sports issues of the era. Illustrated by legendary EC Comics artist Jack Davis, this delightfully subversive series offered children an irreverent twist on the traditional Valentine’s Day card. Rather than sentimental expressions of affection, these vividly colored cards delivered zingers and punchlines with Davis's signature kinetic style and exaggerated caricatures. Each card doubled as both a playful jab and a keepsake, cementing its place in the memories of both givers and recipients alike. Decades later, Funny Valentines continues to charm collectors with its perfect fusion of mid-century humor, satirical art, and the unmistakable energy of Davis at his creative peak. Coveted for both its nostalgia and its artistic pedigree, this set stands as a testament to Topps' genius in blending comic art with cultural commentary.
