First edition stated. Glossy pictorial paper boards. xiv, 382 pp. B&W photos and illustrations in-text. Light bruise to spine head, else fine. "They're creepy and they're kooky" is how the catchy theme song of The Addams Family described everyone's favourite nonconformists - Morticia, Gomez, Lurch, Uncle Fester, Grandmama, Wednesday, and Puglsey. But for all of the novelty of the sitcom based on Charles Addams' ground-breaking New Yorker cartoons, Hollywood's Addams family paled beside the cartoonist's. In this first biography of the great cartoonist, written with exclusive access to Addams' intimates and his private papers, we finally meet the man behind the famed cartoons.
