Soon black magic will summon the Elder Gods back into our world and all manner of players are preparing for the Game. Some have come to open the gates. Some have come to slam them shut.
Gahan Wilson Libri
Gahan Wilson è stato un autore americano la cui arte era caratterizzata da uno stile giocosamente grottesco e un umorismo nero. Il suo lavoro, spesso paragonato a quello di Charles Addams, si distingueva da quello di Addams per essere più contemporaneo, crudo e confrontazionale. Il lavoro di Wilson aveva spesso uno scopo preciso, infondendo i suoi fumetti e la prosa con un intento satirico. Apparendo in pubblicazioni di spicco, le sue creazioni riflettevano una visione del mondo che vedeva il mondo come oscuro e pericoloso, ma occasionalmente divertente.
Gahan Wilson's Out There

Gahan Wilson is probably best known for his macabre Playboy cartoons―filled with charming monsters, goofy mad scientists, and melting victims―and his cutting-edge work in the National Lampoon, but in 1964, he brought his brilliantly controlled wiggly-but-sophisticated pen line to The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction. Wilson’s freaks and geeks found a home among the stories of the best fantasy and sf writers of the day, offering a welcome, if sometimes macabre or existentially imponderable, graphic break from the magazine’s otherwise straightforward prose. Wilson’s playfully black sense of comedy was on full display in these cartoons, delineated in his trademark roly-poly, sensual, delicately hatched line. Out There features the over 250 cartoons that Wilson drew during his tenure with the magazines as well as all four covers he rendered―none of which have seen the light of day since their first appearance 50 years ago. Wilson also contributed both short stories and movie and book reviews, which are included as well. Out There resurrects hundreds of virtually unseen cartoons by one of the 20th century’s masters of the form.
