Apocalypse Tarot is the most ambitious project ever proposed by Passenger Press. It collects the work of 37 international artists: from Giuseppe Palumbo (“Diabolik”) to Rutu Modan (“Exit Wounds” - Drawn and Quarterly), from Francesco Biagini (“Elric” - BOOM! Studios) to Miguel Angel Martin (“Brian the Brain”), all wrapped inside the incredible cover by Nicola Verlato (an italian pop artist selected for the “53rd international art exhibition – Venice Biennale” in 2009).
Christian Marra’s art direction and Valentino Sergi’s texts lead that talented artists patrol through the end of the world, showing us the visions of the last 10 humans on Earth. 10 survivors dealing with Matka Ziemia, the gipsy goddess who doomed our species, and her Tarot deck. 22 apocalyptic pictures and a frame story which leads us inside 10 smaller tales, everyone drawn by a different artist, in a modern post-apocalyptic Decameron. Paperback b/w, 224 pp. - Pocket size book
