It is the dark river that awaits us all, the boundary between Earth and the Underworld, where the grim ferryman Charon keeps his endless vigil. If your loved ones have buried you with a coin in your mouth for payment, you may be ferried across upon your death—if not, you may be left to wander its shore forever.
Groundbreaking card designer Nick Vlow and celebrated magician Eric Ross have drawn inspiration from this famous myth to create a new, Bicycle-branded deck, featuring the Styx Death's Head moth (Acherontia styx). The card backs display a detailed rendering of the moth, complete with its iconic skull motif, while the custom jokers and Ace of Spades are adorned with funereal imagery. Printed by the USPCC.
