BEST SELLERS

The genially fiendish imagination of "Chas" Addams is bountifully explored [in The Groaning Board] in more than a hundred cartoons and drawings, including eight in full color, which later (nisi fallimur) graced covers of The New Yorker…. Not all by any means feature the "Addams Family." In fact some of the best are not gruesome at all, just delightfully outlandish.

A review of "The Groaning Board," in Best Sellers, Vol. 24, No. 15, November 1, 1964, p. 306.
