ACE OF SPADES

The 'card of death' it is called, the ace of spades, famous for it's use in black ops of the Vietnam war.

London based artist Wolfe von Lenkiewicz made a large drawing of a Warholian double-Elvis-Presley-gunslinger with skulls and aces of spades imposed. Death is present in both the death artists as well as the iconography.
