Gahan Wilson (1930- ) Cartoonist, illustrator. Wilson is known for his cartoons depicting horror-fantasy situations. His cartoons and illustrations are drawn in a playfully grotesque style and have a dark humor. His cartoons and prose fiction appeared regularly in Playboy, Collier's and The New Yorker for almost fifty years. His comic strip Nuts, which appeared in National Lampoon, was a reaction against what he saw as the saccharine view of childhood in strips like Peanuts. His hero, The Kid, sees the world as dark, dangerous and unfair. His paperback book, Everybody’s Favorite Duck, The Mysterious Press, 1988, first edition, signed “To Eric with all best wishes Gahan Wilson". He has added an original sketch of the duck, “Quacky".
