Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

Amusingly strange and curiously compelling, Charles Addams' cartoons give a sly wink and a nod to scenes of everyday life in New York, Addams-style. His dark wit and deft hand lend themselves to subterranean themes of love and relationships, secrets and obsessions, subway stations and Lady Liberty. In Addams' Apple: The New York Cartoons of Charles Addams, we witness an artist inspired by the quirks of his fellow New Yorkers and the singular nature of their city-itself one of Addams' characters.

In her foreword, Sarah M. Henry (Museum of the City of New York) highlights Addams' offbeat insights into the institutions and mindsets that define the city's culture. Luc Sante's preface explores Addams' unique place in American culture.

Addams' Apple presents more than 150 cartoons created by "Chas" Addams (American, 1912-1988) throughout his prolific career; some have never been published before. More of the artist's work can be seen in The Addams Family: An Evilution (Pomegranate, 2010).

This Shows Why Charles Adams Was Such An Amazing Cartoonist.

Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2023

Verified Purchase

I am a big fan of Charles Addams. This is a book of his cartoons about New York City. There are some I have never seen. The forward and introduction in the book speak of Adams connection to New York.

I have six books of his cartoons. This is one of my favorites. The cartoons are both in black and white and color though the majority are black and white. They are large enough to be enjoyed. The pages are made of strong paper. The hardcover book is well made and feels good in my hands. It is a quality book.

I will never tire of Charles Adams cartoons. They all bring a smile to my face.

Enjoyable book for fans of Charles Addams.

Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2020

Verified Purchase

I had been thinking about getting books of Charles Addams work for some time. I was turned on to his work back when The Addams Family movie came out in the early 90's. They released the "My Crowd" collection as a promotional tie-in at that time, so I bought it. I really enjoyed those cartoons and wanted more, but this was pre-Amazon days, so if the books weren't on the shelf of the local book chain, I was out of luck. So, I had to wait a while.

When I saw this book had been released, I decided to get it along with "Addams Family Evilution". Glad I did.

This book is laid out well. Hardcover, glossy pages and about one cartoon per page. There are a few multiple frame cartoons, but mostly single frame pictures. The large majority are in the original black&white and a small handful are in color. On the last few pages, there is a listing telling you the name & page number for the cartoon and when it was released. The vast majority were released in The New Yorker magazine with a few released in other sources and some that have never been released until now.

It should be noted that the City of New York is the primary star and subject matter of this book. All cartoons are either set in the city or feature the famous New York City skyline. If you're looking for The Addams Family, you might be a little disappointed. They do appear in a small handful of cartoons in this book, but only when the city is featured as a backdrop. Even so, the cartoons are still funny and really showcase the offbeat and sometimes dark humor of Charles Addams. The humor can be fairly subtle at times, but sometimes half the fun is trying to figure out the gag.

If you're a fan of New York City or, like me, a fan of Charles Addams' work, you will enjoy this book a lot.

Title a Bit of a Stretch

Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2021

Verified Purchase

As far as an Addams collection goes, it's a good-looking production. You even get a few unpublished cartoons, and the New Yorker covers in color are nicely reproduced. The problem is in the title. We're meant to believe that an Addams cartoon that has a museum, a homeless person, an office building, a store selling tropical fish, a police station, or a sidewalk salesman automatically means New York City. Addams did skyline drawings, reliably funny subway drawings, Statue of Liberty gags, streets that abruptly end on the east side, over-looking the East River (a set up that Addams recycled a number of times), but the reality is that there are simply not enough Addams cartoons that truly say New York.
As with every collection that has been assembled after Addams' death, the editors managed to miss
some things, but the book's still worth having.

Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2021

The book is 160 pages. Pages 8 through 158 are cartoons published in The New Yorker magazine and range from cartoons published in the 40s all the way to the 90s (after his death). Beautiful book with good quality paper.

Just a tiny sample of his more than 1,300 cartoons. A mere wonderfully delicious appetizer of his work.

A Wonderful Collection of Charles Addams Cartoons

Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2020

A wonderful collection of Charles Addams cartoons, some in colour, but the majority are in black & white, which feels, to me, more typical of Addams very tongue-in-cheek, somewhat hidden humour, often political, and in some cases eerily prescient when you consider when these cartoons were created.

The majority of these are a nod to earlier times, somewhere between the 1930’s and the 1980’s – the years when his work appeared regularly in The New Yorker Magazine. His work including a fairly regular dose of somewhat darker, strange cartoons – perhaps influenced by his close friendship with Alfred Hitchcock – the variety wide, but the type where you’d have to look, and then perhaps look again rather than glance at them to understand his style, his humour, and then, of course, laugh.

Included among over 150 cartoons, for those fans of The Addams Family, some that feature that famous clan. It also includes many that have never before been published. For me, it was a nice addition, but I really just enjoyed the walk down memory lane, and highly recommend it for those seeking a diversion from the COVID blues.

For those not familiar with Addams cartoons, this is a great way to check out his work. For fans of Addams, I never realized before reading this that he accepted an Edgar Award in 1961 for the full body of his work, the first non-novelist to receive this distinction.

Many thanks for the ARC provided by Pomegranate
