Charles Samuel Addams' dream was to work for The New Yorker. Born in Westfield, NJ, in 1912, he sold his first cartoon to The New Yorker in 1933 and became a staff cartoonist seven years later, a position he held until his death in 1988. During his tenure, Addams drew over 1,300 cartoons, which showcased his fascination with the macabre and the ironic. His signature cartoons featured a family of ghouls whose morbid behavior was a delightfully shocking 180º from normal.

These characters, known as the Addams family, grew so popular, they became the basis for the 1960's TV show, "The Addams Family", a pop culture phenomenon. And now, you can make the twisted, devilishly charming humor of Addams and his family a permanent part of your family with his classic limited-edition lithograph. Each print is hand-matted and framed, comes with a letter of authenticity.
