Some interesting information in the notes for this issue. First off is that this was written before the Obama election. Second, we find that the cover price went up for the first time in seven years – the second longest period of no price increase in the publication’s history. Finally, we get some confirmation that the ongoing Tarot series is meant to be a kind of third gallery section – something that hasn’t been mentioned in that context until now.
