Drawn and Quartered is the first published anthology of Charles “Chas” Addams’ macabre single?panel cartoons, originally appearing in The New Yorker.

The Collection Contains: Anthology of Addams’ early cartoons: A curated selection of his darkly humorous, gothic single?panel drawings. Early Addams Family prototypes: The family appears, though not yet fully named or standardized. Macabre domestic scenes: Addams’ signature blend of the sinister and the mundane, elegant linework, dry wit, and understated morbidity. Cheerfully morbid gags involving death, danger, and the supernatural; Suburban absurdity - the sinister lurking beneath polite society; Visual punchlines that reward slow, observant reading; Gothic whimsy that would later define the Addams Family franchise.
