The Weird World of Gahan Wilson

This copy of The Weird World of Gahan Wilson (1975) includes an original drawing by the artist dated 2/20/89. Overall, Gahan Wilson is quite generous with the souvenir drawings he creates for fans. This bellhop marionette from this drawing is also seen in the cover illustration. The low sale price on eBay is somewhat inexplicable.
