There are always comics of which we have a pre-conceived idea of what they are. Tarot: Witch of the Black Rose was (for me) one such comic.
I picked up a copy of Tarot: Witch of the Black Rose # 91 very sceptically, almost by chance after being a fan of his Catwoman work. Hearing about this for many years I expected just tits and ass. I was almost right - but something was there which surprised me - A PLOT.
I may have to pick up a second issue. This is actually very surprising. Obviously written as an adult comic with characters sporting massive boobs, and very little (and in some cases none) clothing. But I really was impressed.
I just had to look behind the expectation and see the comic peeking through.
An unlikely hidden gem which comes in for a lot of flack...... some of which I have discovered is undeserved.
May well holdback my final judgement until # 92.
