The Pulp Tarot

The Pulp Tarot is one of those rare decks that manages to be genuinely funny while remaining a legitimate divination tool. Todd Alcott, an artist known for his cultural mashups and mid-century collage work, drew from the sensationalist world of pulp magazines to construct a deck that places tarot archetypes in conversation with pop culture iconography, puns, and a certain knowing wit. The result is dense with references that reward careful looking, and the readings it delivers tend to arrive with an unexpected lightness.
