Description:
The idea for this deck arose out of some of the Science fiction and fantasy conventions in the 1960's which started giving space to a show of artwork. Bruce Peltz had the idea of asking some of these artists each to contribute a design for a tarot card. The artists took the established Rider-Waite deck as an exemplar, but some radically altered the imagery. 85 artists took part in the project. Not all the card designs incorporate the title of the card.
