Gahan Wilson Sunday Comics
Gahan Wilson
(Author)
Description
Gahan Wilson Sunday Comics is macabre Playboy cartoonist Gahan Wilson's subversive, little-known syndicated strip that appeared in America's newspapers between 1974 and 1976. While each strip appears to be a standard, color Sunday strip (albeit without panel borders), each Sunday Comic is a collection of one-panel gag cartoons, delineated in Wilson's wiggly-but-sophisticated pen line. The last gag cartoon on each Sunday is part of a recurring series, either "Future Funnies" or "The Creep." As is his wont, Wilson mines the blackest of black comedy in the banal horror of human nature.Product Details

Reviews
Wilson's misshapen mind's eye, in which every figure and prop and setting looks like it's made of the same stuff as those watches by DalΓ, has remained unblinking and interested to this day. ... Wilson was the antithesis of the one-panel, one-gag cartoonist he appeared to be... Whole dystopian novels detached from their illustrations were sensed in [his] cartoons...--Adam McGovern
