Mythical playing cards (project) were designed by the American artist Megan Pittam. The deck is made completely out of the Baskerville typeface. Each face card displays a mythical character taken from commonly known myths originating from different cultures or pop cultures. Faces of all court cards and aces are the same.

This article is dedicated to the new set of playing cards produced by Alakazam Magic in 2013 – Bicycle Dr Jekyll Playing Cards and Bicycle Mr Hyde Playing Cards. These two decks are the set because they are connected and have the common general theme – Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson. So they supplement each other and pretend to be used in combination.
