Are you an Addams aficianado, or do your tastes run more to the Gorey?Westfield, NJ-born illustrator Charles "Chill" Addams (1912 - 1988) is best known for his New Yorker cartoons, which included the very successful Addams Family series. You can read more about him at the Tee & Charles Addams Foundation website. An Addams bibliography can be found here.
Chicago-born/Cape Cod resident, Edward Gorey (1925-2000) is famous for his wonderfully macabre pen-and-ink drawings, though he considered himself first and foremost a writer. He, like Addams, had his work showcased on a regular basis in the New Yorker. Gorey-trivia: the Gorey-like credits for PBS's Mystery! were actually done by animator Derek Lamb. You can find a list of his works at the aptly-names Goreyography website.
