Artist Chris Hoffman is following suit (no pun intended) with his KICKSTARTER project to produce a second, new and improved Horror Comic Book Tarot. A crazy idea? Just take a look at some of these card designs and they will show you that a lot of research and imagination went into the creation of this deck.
Follow the highlighted link above for information on how you can support his project.
Just remember, the oracle of the Tarot is never to be taken lightly!
Story
Open your mind to the unknown, as the Horror Comic Tarot Deck answers your questions from the beyond (for entertainment purposes only)!
The Cards
We've learned a lot since the production of the previous version of the Horror Comic Tarot Deck. While we're proud of our achievement, Version 2 will be a marked improvement in quality. Our cards will be printed by Shuffled Ink on 330gsm cardstock, with Shuffled Ink's Card Coating. Each box comes with 78 cards (Major and Minor Arcana).
The artwork was gathered from many different public-domain horror comic books from the 1940s and 50s. Each image was chosen for its beauty and reminder of the card's meaning. All of the cards have been reformatted to include a black border and several cards have had their artwork replaced with new images. We can't wait for you to see the new cards.
