"The Addams Family: The Family Album" brings together all the original cartoons of the terribly famous family in one volume for the first time. A treasure for all fans of Morticia, Gomez, Lurch, the ice-cold little hand, Uncle Fester and the dear little children Pugsley and Wednesday! "The Addams Family: The Family Album" is the first book to trace the history of the Addams Family and presents more than 200 cartoons created by Charles Addams during his prolific career. Kevin Miserocchi provides an insightful chronology of each character's development. Addams' own concise character descriptions, originally written for the producers of the television show, introduce each chapter. The family's presence continues to permeate generation after generation, and this book reminds us where these strangely endearing characters came from. It thus offers an enduring tribute to one of America's greatest humourists and his infamous creation.
