Superheroes, villains, patriots and cyberspace an unusual combination for a tarot deck, but one that works. Although this is not a deck I would normally be drawn to because it did not seem feminine on the surface, the artwork caught my eye, and I decided it would be an interesting deck to review. I also thought it would be a deck my young son would enjoy. I was correct on both accounts. The Fradella Adventure Tarot is a product of the iHero Universe Comics created by Frank Fradella, Founder and President of iHero Entertainment. Fradella teamed with Katrina Hutchins, and Canadian artist, JP Dupras, to create the deck. Unfortunately I found little information on the Ms. Hutchins. Mr. Dupras appears to be an established, young artist in the comic industry. The Fradella Adventure Tarot is a 78 card deck based on the RWS, with symbolism revolving around the characters in the iHero Universe. Fradellas idea of the classic struggle between good and evil in the superhero saga would work well with the tarot is a good one. Not only is the fools journey played out through the majors very ingeniously, the minors are equally as engaging. Wands are represented by staves; Cups by masks; Swords
