Revisiting media coverage and books about Charles Addams

Is it possible to really know Charles Addams--what was he really thinking? Linda Davis wrote a biography on Addams in 2006.  Its first chapter is excerpted here from the NY Times.

In 2010, Pomegranate Press published The Addams Family: An Evilution, by H. Kevin Miserocchi and Charles Addams, a 224-page hardcover with more than 200 cartoons of The Family. Pomegranate Press is a source of the Addams New York Cartoons, postcards and calendars.

Here is an interview with Miserocchi from Hamptons.com, with Sag Harbor Express, and the Southampton Press. The Addams Family YouTube page also posted a video interview with Miserocchi.

If you ever wanted to own a print of one of the Addams cartoons, the Tee and Charles Addams Foundation's gift shop sells the art along with other merchandise.

Don't forget about the Addams Family documentary filmed in 1991 that talks about the early years of Charles Addams work.

Finally, here is an interview with John Astin (Gomez Addams from the TV series), about eulogizing Charles Addams.
