Black Maria, A new cartoon collection
"1960,Hamish Hamilton. Hardcover with dustjacket( partly torn), 96 pp. Illustrated.?,first edition,Black Maria (1960) is a deliciously dark anthology of cartoons by Charles ""Chas"" Addams, best known as the creator of The Addams Family. This collection, his sixth, showcases his signature blend of macabre wit and gothic charm, all rendered in his iconic single-panel style.?The book features the entire Addams clan—Gomez, Morticia, Wednesday, Pugsley, Uncle Fester, Grandmama, and Lurch—embroiled in their usual offbeat antics. But it’s not just about the family; Addams also explores other eerie corners of suburban life, revealing the absurdity lurking beneath the surface of the everyday.?What makes Black Maria stand out is its timeless humor. Whether it’s Wednesday crafting a paper doll chain with three-legged figures or Uncle Fester choosing “Scalding” over “Hot” and “Cold” in the shower, each cartoon is a masterclass in visual storytelling and twisted delight."
