Product Description
Product Description
Two-headed pub crawlers and monsters that might be your next-door neighbors are just some of the odd creatures found in the works of Gahan Wilson -- the sort of dark and twisted humor that has garnered accolades and awards for this celebrated cartoonist, whose work has graced the pages of The New Yorker, National Lampoon, and Playboy.
Containing over 150 cartoons that stretch across the length of Wilson's ouevre, Gravediggers' Party is a pumpkin-stuffing collection of the weird and the wild, the strange and the supernatural, appreciated by only the most discerning ghoul. (You know who you are.)

Wonderfully demented stuff,
By
This review is from: Gravedigger's Party (Paperback)
The first cartoon that I can remember seeing was one of Gahan Wilson's: a man on top of a Charles Addam's-type house, waving those flags that workers use to guide airplanes in...only off in the distance in the air is not an airplane, but a witch on a broomstick. That was it; I was hooked. And every cartoon in this pocket-sized book is as much of a gem as the first one I saw. All of them made me smile; some (like the Sandwich-Man killer) made me burst out laughing. Wilson is wonderfully demented. But what can you expect from a man who was born dead, and brought out to life by the doctor repeatedly dunking him in hot and cold water. And who is also descended from P.T. Barnum? This is great stuff. Buy it. You won't be disappointed. I promise.

Wonderful! A pocket-sized collection of Wilson's best...,

This review is from: Gravedigger's Party (Paperback)
This is great - I've loved Wilson's cartoons since I first saw one, and I have most of his collections, but here are most of his best cartoons (including my all-time favorites) in a convenient pocket size. From "I think you should locate the new delphinium bed elsewhere, Hobbs" to "...and then we'll get him!", these are all terrific; funny, gruesome, sometimes even {gasp} thought-provoking. Oh, and often rather bloody, so if you have an aversion to the occasional body part in your cartoons, you might pass by. If not, join the fun...
