   Tim Burton’s book “The Melkancholy Death of Oyster Boy and Additional Tales” and the range of “Tragic Toys” derived from it demonstrate the wider imagination that make his feature films so unique.
   
   This item is rather simple – it is a deck of playing cards with a typically carnivalesque burton back on all cards with Burton’s “Melancholy” characters – such as Toxic Boy, the Pin Cushion Queen and all, used as the character cards. The number cards are not neglected though, with the hearts,spades, clubs and diamonds scratched out and couloured in his distinctive illustrative style.
   
   This is fun and a must for Burton completists.

   I agree with the everything the additional reviewer, Eva, said, although I don’t reflect they are entirely worthless. They’ll still be more fun to play with than a regular deck.

   I bought these cards thinking that there was a brilliant sketch by Tim Burton on every card. The reason they only show you these 4 illustrated cards is because they are the only four in the whole deck of cards. All of the number cards follow the standard appearance (4 red diamonds on a card of 4 diamonds). There are only illustrations on the 4 high cards: Jack, Queen, King, and Ace. Not only that, also each of the four queens have the same illustration on them, each of the four kings have the same illustration on them, and so on, and so into the world. So there really are only 4 pictures in the whole deck. I was painstakingly disappointed; don’t waste your money.
