I have the first fifteen issues, the first two trades and a statue. It was an amazing looking comic, tho perhaps a tad strong. I loved all the Wiccan religion stuff and the background on Samhain and Halloween that used to run thru it.karlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07814365568280298681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8608317781914932095.post-1643962898775680532012-07-01T18:16:06.777-05:002012-07-01T18:16:06.777-05:00Was this a cover or just a pin-up?Was this a cover or just a pin-up?Megarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07207411868412970992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8608317781914932095.post-75067652300040782062012-07-01T17:23:17.950-05:002012-07-01T17:23:17.950-05:00Balent seems to be 100% about Broadsword Comics.

I've never read Tarot, but I read about it fairly regularly on Comics Alliance. It sounds like a hoot, but something I prefer being relayed secondhand for free.Diabolu Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685199809207954223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8608317781914932095.post-78650246245801821822012-07-01T17:06:37.949-05:002012-07-01T17:06:37.949-05:00I was a big Jim Balent fan throughout the 90s for ...I was a big Jim Balent fan throughout the 90s for his stellar work on Catwoman, he made her come alive. Then I followed him to his own creation Tarot, but the last few years that comics dropped off the radar, no-one seems to be to able to get it anymore.<br />I wish he would return to DC and do a few issues of WW, his rich legacy of sexy, xupernatural art would lend itself very well to WW.karlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07814365568280298681noreply@blogger.com
