Marvel Masterpieces Artist Sketch Card – Cyclops & Jean Grey – JWC’s Marvel Tarot No. I managed to acquire a few of these collectable cards (this one came out of a pack of cards from Mile High Comics in Lakewood, CO) and this is by far the most impressive, especially when you consider what is known about it compared to other Artist Sketch Cards. In addition to images of the card itself I have included several images found online showing JWC’s other Marvel Masterpieces work. In particular this card was part of a Tarot inspired set of Marvel Masterpieces Artist Sketch Cards. Tarot-Themed Marvel Masterpieces II Sketch Cards from Upper Deck. 0-The Fool; I-Magician; II-High Priestess; III-Empress; IV-Emperor; V-Hierophant; VI-Lovers; VII-Chariot; VIII-Strength; IX-Hermit; X-Wheel of Fortune; XI-Justice; XII-Hanged Man; XIII-Death; XIV-Temperance; XV-Devil; XVI-Tower; XVII-Star; XVIII-Moon; XIX-Sun; XX-Judgment; XXI-World. From an interview with the artist. Also, on some sets, Ill make a Tarot setselecting 22 cards to represent the major arcana of a tarot deck. Occasionally, there will be a serendipitous revelation of just the right card for the imagery, theme, or title of a tarot card. I remember working on the tarot set for the season one Heroes sketch cards and gave myself the additional constraint of selecting an image from episode 1 for card 1 (Magician), episode 2 for card 2 (High Priestess), episode 3 for card 3 (Empress), etc. There were several instances that lined up just so Other sets that have gotten the tarot treatment: Lord of the Rings Masterpieces, Star Wars 30th Anniversary, Indiana Jones Heritage, Marvel Masterpieces, X-Men Archives, and Star Wars Galaxy 5. These are always fun to do. Every now and then I think, maybe Ill do the 56 minor arcana as wellthe coins, swords, cups, wandsbecause I like the idea of selecting images with another meaning or that fit into a grander design This would be perfect for a 10 of swords! , but I havent followed through yet.
