Continuing our Halloween countdown, today’s book is Still Weird, by Gahan Wilson. Softcover published 1994 by Forge / Tom Doherty Associates.
287 pages of ghoulish, warped cartoons in black-and-white by a master of the macabre. Many of these cartoons originally appeared in National Lampoon, Playboy, and The New Yorker, but this collection also includes 100 brand-new cartoons and 100 more that have never before been published in book form.
Wilson’s drawing has a distinctive loopy style that perfectly suits his blend of grotesqueness and wit. His fascination with horror was honed in childhood by the works of H. P. Lovecraft, and he was influenced by the cartoons of Charles Addams.
