Highly rare and fantastic original black ink and gray gouache sketch of Wednesday Addams walking a dog wearing a spiked collar, boldly signed and dated 1980, on the title page of a hardcover copy of the 1977 first British edition of his book Favorite Haunts. The dust jacket, which has had the price diagonally clipped off inside, is nicely protected in a clear plastic cover, and the book itself is in good condition, overall. Other books, signed with sketches which are arguably less desirable than this one, have sold for over $1,000 at auction. Quirky New Yorker cartoonist Charles Addams' macabre creations included the Addams Family-- Gomez, Morticia, Uncle Fester, Lurch, Grandmama, Pugsley, Wednesday, Cousin Itt, and Thing.
