This is clearly a Kevin Staab bootleg. More than one company seems to have copied the ‘Mad Chemist’ graphic in the past. We had some here and I have seen some other fake Staabs around. The original deck was designed by John Lucero in 1986 for Sims. Also, this fake one is made by Saturn, the same company that produced the fake Monty Nolder from December. It was also the same seller who sold this deck on eBay. This one went for £10.73 after 5 bids.
Thanks to John William Davies for the tip and Chandra Ruegg for the pictures.

And last but not least: another fake Staab sold on eBay for $72 (!) :

Yeah that looks pretty terrible! I have a bootleg Sims Staab Mad Scientist and it looks pretty legit as far as quality of the graphic. They used the name
