A perfect blend of morose, sardonic, and dark humor. Very poignant stuff. HIGHEST POSSIBLE RECOMMENDATION
Weird subversiveness ensues.
2004 paperback. Goes beyond the magazine cartoons and into Nuts from National Lampoon and others, as well as Classic Illustrated illustrations for Edgar Allan Poe. Macabre, beautiful, hilarious. I've always found it amazing that some of his more gruesome cartoons were published in Playboy, opposite airbrushed Playmates splayed nude on top of pool tables. Wilson is an American treasure. There will never be another.
A quibble that any book titled "The Best of Gahan Wilson" should be omnibus-sized and not a slim, 144 pages.
