Gahan Wilson Books
Gahan Wilson was an American author whose art was characterized by a playfully grotesque style and dark humor. His work, often compared to that of Charles Addams, distinguished itself from Addams's by being more contemporary, gross, and confrontational. Wilson's pieces often carried a specific point, infusing his cartoons and prose with satirical intent. Appearing in prominent publications, his creations reflected a worldview that saw the world as dark and dangerous, yet occasionally fun.
