"Suicide King" design by OGABEL
Playing Cards have been around for a very long time. Some say that they may go all the way back as far as the early 13th Century in China, other sources that they go back even further to the 9th century where the first reference to the card game in world history describes Princess Dongchang (daughter of Emperor Yizong) playing the "leaf game" in 868 during the last reign of the Tang Dynasty.

What an Uncensored Letter to M.L.K. Reveals -By BEVERLY GAGE New York Times Magazine

Clearly, some effort went into perfecting the tone, that of a disappointed admirer, appalled by the discovery of “hidious [sic] abnormalities” in someone he once viewed as “a man of character.”The word “evil” makes six appearances in the text, beginning with an accusation: “You are a colossal fraud and an evil, vicious one at th
