Addams and Evil

Charles Addams’s macabre humor debuted in book form with this single 1947 Random House collection, gathering his iconic New Yorker cartoons of the delightfully ghoulish family that would become the Addams Family. Chas Addams’s singular, elegant linework and deadpan wit defined the series, establishing a timeless blend of gothic atmosphere and suburban satire. As the first published compilation of his work, this volume remains the essential introduction to his uniquely morbid vision.
