Absurd, surreal, dark, hilarious, stylized and intelligent are all very good descriptors for Wilson's wonderfully imaginative and sometimes frighting art style. Some cartoons are slightly dated but... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Gahan Wilson, whom I've enjoyed since a young lad is uncanny at conjuring up the most bizarre perspectives combined with tiny bits of human nature and consciousness to make them seem all the more real and very, very funny? He is the father of modern black humor in the cartoon form, in my opinion. He gets better every time I go back to him.
A great, yet disturbing book.
