Homebodies

Published in the United States, Charles Addams' Homebodies is an exceptional and highly collectible vintage graphic humor anthology featuring the brilliant, darkly comedic single-panel illustrations of Charles Addams. Renowned for his peerless contributions to The New Yorker, Addams cultivated a uniquely morbid yet charming universe populated by ghoulish aristocrats, eccentric monsters, and delightfully twisted domestic scenes.

The front cover features a striking painted illustration set against a gloomy pink sky and a grand Victorian mansion. In the foreground stand the famous members of what would become the Addams Family, including Gomez, Morticia, Lurch, Wednesday, Pugsley holding an alligator, Grandmama, and Uncle Fester peering from the side. Across the top, white text reads CHARLES ADDAMS' above the prominent, gnarled branch-formed title lettering HOMEBODIES. Inside, the pages present a rich archive of classic black-and-white cartoons celebrating domestic oddities and macabre wit. An essential centerpiece collectible for Charles Addams enthusiasts, New Yorker cartoon historians, and vintage pop culture art collectors.
