Packaged in a unique Kickstarter exclusive illustrated box, these Vampirella
Tarot Cards will feature the artwork of some of the all-time masters of
the craft, including Frank Frazetta, Enrich, Esteban Maroto, and Paul
Gulacy, all in one unique, collectible package! The complete box set of
these genuine major and minor arcana tarot cards comes with detailed
instructions, and will provide any collector or fan with a truly
immersive experience in the world of Vampirella!
"From
the beginning, we wanted to do something special for our supporters and
we think we've come up with something really unique," says Nick
Barrucci, CEO and Publisher of Dynamite Entertainment. "Working
hand-in-hand with Vampirella comics scholars, we've designed an Expanded
Arcana that provides three brand-new Tarot Cards that truly capture the
vivacious history of our most iconic character. We're thrilled to
continue expanding Vampirella's universe in such an aesthetically pleasing and exciting way!
