Gahan Wilson

    Gahan Wilson était un auteur américain dont l'art se caractérisait par un style joyeusement grotesque et un humour noir. Son œuvre, souvent comparée à celle de Charles Addams, se distinguait de celle d'Addams par son caractère plus contemporain, cru et confrontationnel. Le travail de Wilson avait souvent un but précis, insufflant à ses dessins animés et à sa prose une intention satirique. Apparaissant dans des publications de premier plan, ses créations reflétaient une vision du monde qui considérait le monde comme sombre et dangereux, mais occasionnellement amusant.

      Fine; Signed. See scans. Signed First edition and first printing [stated] of the softcover edition, which was issued simultaneously with the hardcover. New Richard Marek, 1978. Flat signed by Wilson on the ffep. Quarto, illustrated wraps, 125 pp. Fine condition; flawless. First edition of the seventh collection of cartoons by the master of the macabre, who has been called a hybrid of Charles Addams and Woody Allen - but that seems to me to fall well short of what he is. Born in 1930, Wilson gained fame for his uniquely chilling - yet funny - cartoons in Playboy Magazine. Wilson runs his gamut of topics and mood in this one. Scarce as the first and signed. L-32
