The Best of Gahan Wilson

Anyone who is a longtime reader of The New Yorker, Esquire, The Magazine Fantasy and Science Fiction, Punch, Audubon, Paris Match, National Lampoon, and Playboy(monthly cartoons for the past 30 years) will recognise Gahan Wilson's distinctively twisted cartoon style and humour. The logical successor to Charles Addam (The Addams Family) and an acknowledged inspiration to Gary Larson (The Far side) Wilson is America's cartoon master of the absurd, the offbeat, and the shiver. This is the most complete retrospective of his work to date and features the best and most hilarious examples of his creepy and sometimes jaundiced brand of humor. It includes numerous full-color works and his wry illustrated essays covering such topics as childhood fears and human tourists in space as well as biographical information.
