Seattle, WA: Fantagraphics Books, 2009. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good Plus / Very Good Plus (slipcase). Three volumes of cartoonist Gahan Wilson's memorable half-century of work for Playboy Magazine Color; vast majority of cartoons are page-sized and in full color. Black paper boards with printed graphics and cut-out board design unique to each volume. Side of slipcase is a clear frame highlighting the books' absurd photo of the artist. Very light rubbing to boards and slipcase. "Gahan Wilson [1930 - 2019] is probably best known for his macabre Playboy cartoons, filled with charming monsters, goofy mad scientists, and melting victims, and his cutting-edge work in the National Lampoon, but he's also one of the most versatile cartoonists alive whose work has appeared in a wide range of media venues.... As is his wont, Wilson mines the blackest of black comedy in the banal horror of human nature." (from Fantagraphics).
