Those tarot look nifty. If that got put out, it would be the second deck of Marvel tarot cards I'd have. I tracked down the Italian tarot deck put out ages ago. Mostly because Dazzler and Longshot are on cards in it.

Really? You should post the Italian Marvel deck, as I've never seen it! Where did you get it?

Well, I learned about it during my hunt for Longshot merchandise. I finally managed to track them down at a specialty tarot shop in Des Moines, Iowa.

I do have them up in a gallery on Photobucket. Here.

Oh, those are nice, but not nearly as nice as the art in the new Tarot issue. The Italian deck looks like someone took some stock images and captioned them with Photoshop. It's fun, but I think the stuff I'm posting from Marvel Tarot is much more coherent overall, because it explains why each person appears as they do in the First Tarot (that's the tarot deck that Ian McNee is using).

Well, this set was out in 1995. It's all done by an Italian artist named Claudio Villa.

I love that Temperance is Wanda. That wouldn't happen now, would it?

I kind of wish they'd gotten Mantis in there, but decent choices.

:grumble grumble it's not a proper Taroccho deck w/o the suits:
