The Addams Family: An Evilution

Charels Addams first created Morticia, Lurch, The Thing, and the rest of the creepy Addams family in 1938, long before the TV show and movies (and a Broadway musical) made them hugely popular. This hefty book, packed with illustrations, is the first comprehensive chronicle of the evolution of this delightfully macabre clan and their spooky mansion. Read the character descriptions Addams wrote for the television producers, see how each character changed over time, and check out more than 200 cartoons, a quarter of which have never been published before.
