Addams and Evil: An Album of Cartoons by Charles Addams PDF

Some questionable illustrations for modern sensibilities.

Charles Addams is one of those cartoonists whose name — like that of Heath Robinson — has passed into the language. Since the nineteen-forties his sinister and morbidly eccentric cartoons have mapped an essential part of our comic landscape. This vintage collection, first published in 1947 and unavailable for many years, offers a classic array of his famous crumbling Gothic mansions, monsters, and unexpected happenings. Since this book was published the Addams family has become a byword for macabre domesticity. All Charles Addams's pictures are drawn with the matchless depravity and menace which have made him both a pioneer and the reigning master of black comedy.
