Tarot Deck with Horror Comic Book Art Second Ed "Poker Size"

The Tarot Deck with Horror Comic Book Art, Second Edition, is a 78-card tarot deck by artist Bobby Alexander. It fully illustrates both the Major and Minor Arcana with a distinct aesthetic reminiscent of Golden Age horror comic books. The deck aims to infuse the traditional tarot structure with a spooky, vintage comic style, making it a unique offering for collectors and readers who appreciate this specific art form.

This second edition emphasizes a 'poker size' format, suggesting a more compact and portable deck compared to standard tarot card sizes. The imagery, as seen in the sample cards, directly references classic horror comic covers, adapting their dramatic compositions, bold lettering, and often sensational themes to represent tarot archetypes. This approach provides a fresh, genre-specific interpretation of the tarot, moving away from more traditional or contemporary art styles.

The deck's design choices, from its art style to its compact size, cater to a niche audience. It successfully funded on Kickstarter in 2023, indicating a demand for tarot decks that blend divination with pop culture nostalgia and a darker, more thrilling aesthetic. The 'spooky' theme is consistently applied, promising an immersive experience for those drawn to the macabre and the retro charm of old horror comics.

This deck is ideal for tarot enthusiasts who are also fans of vintage horror comic books, particularly those from the Golden Age. It appeals to collectors seeking unique, themed decks that blend pop culture with divination. Readers who appreciate a darker, more dramatic aesthetic and are comfortable with non-traditional interpretations of tarot imagery will find this deck engaging. Its 'poker size' also makes it suitable for those who prefer smaller, more portable decks.
