didnt think i would get hooked on this series.
but i did. may not be for everyone due to the Jim's style of drawing.

if you can look past the nudity.
there is a lot of messages about society and such. and the life of a witch.

...Really?
I thought it was just silly softcore porno.

Then again, my only exposure to Tarot is via the mocking write-ups on Invincible Super-Blog. It looks cheesy but harmless enough.

if its the nudity that bothers you. then i dont recommended it.

i like how creative he can be with various female characters..like Shark Women and Leech Girls lol
sometimes he even draws Women from real Witch Covens for some issues.

if you do decide to get it.
i would just go for the whole Graphic Novel. or at least scan it.

his worked changed a slight bit over time. but in a good way.

i always loved Cat Woman. and didnt even know it was Jim's work till WAY later lol. i was little when i was reading it. and never noticed how busty and slim she was, yet when people started pointing it out, then i noticed. and wondered why it bothered them so much

Over the last few years, I've picked up a couple issues here and there. Good stuff. I love it, but the nudity is kinda... blatant. I feel awkward bringing it up to the cash register... So, I don't buy it often. But it's super!

lol
the comicbook store i go to, has a copy placed in my file XD

they dont question why i like it or why i read it.

i mean, they sell all kinds of books, i doubt they wonder about the people who buy them
