Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fun as a collectible or as a gift
There is a good mix of the strange and absurd in this book, as well as Addams family - about 50-50. Many pages depict wintery themes with an evil sense of the macabre lurking in the background... A total of 192 pages of wyrd. It gets you thinking about how the indomitable potential of the human spirit. (Spooky!)

This is the kind of book to read when you're having a tough time with people, the weather is bad, or you're in the hospital feeling fatal. Why not give it as a gift? These ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - "Suddenly, I have a dreadful urge to be merry."
My Crowd is a collection of some 200 cartoons (most of which are full page) by the comically macabre illustrator Charles Addams.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The original gleeful creepiness of Chas. Addams' cartoons
The argument can be made that Charles Addams is the father of American "sick" humor, starting when "The New Yorker" publishes his first cartoon in 1935. Of the 189 drawings in this 20th anniversary reprinting of "My Crowd," a collection of the best cartoons from the first six Addams books, 185 originally appeared in "The New York" between 1937 and 1969. Of those 50 are of the Addams family, and if all you know is the classical television series or the pair of theatrical films, then you owe yourself ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Addams Family source better than any of its successors.
Part of the beauty of the original "Addams Family" tv show, and an aspect of the show that has been almost totally lost throughout the first average animated series, the two okay movies, and the most recent abysmal animated series, was that the Addamses themselves did not exist in a vacuum; surrounding them, throughout their town and the world, was a network of individuals, shops, and organizations that shared the same "bizarre" tastes that they did. The Addamses were never non-conformists as such; ... Read More
