本书由二十世纪最伟大的哥特式黑色幽默漫画大师、世界知名 IP《亚当斯一家》（The Addams Family）的创造者查尔斯·亚当斯（Chas Addams）亲自编纂。全书收录了 92 幅充满荒诞、怪诞、怪异却又极具睿智的经典单格漫画，其中大部分最初发表于《纽约客》（The New Yorker）杂志。书中展示了大量亚当斯一家经典角色的早期雏形，并透过其标志性的阴暗画风与荒谬情境，对战后美国中产阶级的日常生活、家庭关系以及大众心理进行了精准且令人会心一笑的讽刺与颠覆。

 Summary:

This masterful volume is a curated compilation of works by Charles Addams (Chas Addams), the legendary American master of macabre wit and the creative genius behind the internationally acclaimed The Addams Family franchise. The book brings together 92 of his deliciously diabolical, delightfully bizarre, and wryly subversive cartoons, the majority of which originally debuted in the pages of The New Yorker. Featuring early incarnations of his iconic gothic characters along with his signature dark, surreal environments, this collection offers an unsettlingly brilliant satire of mid-century American domesticity and societal norms.

前藏家艾伯特·盖德尔博士珍藏履历（Provenance & Biography）：

本书原为美国著名东亚发展经济学家、前世界银行驻华首席经济学家、乔治华盛顿大学教授艾伯特·盖德尔博士（Dr. Albert Keidel）之私人收藏。盖德尔博士长期致力于东亚宏观经济体系与地缘战略的严谨学术研究。这本早年陪伴其治学历程的《Black Maria》，生动展现了这位顶尖汉学经济学家在严肃的专业研究之外，对美国本土冷战时期前卫视觉艺术与黑色幽默文化的深厚涉猎。这种跨越社会科学与前卫大众艺术的藏书轨迹，为本书注入了无可替代的名家学术流传履历与收藏故事。

 Background & Significance:

Published in 1960, Black Maria represents Charles Addams at the absolute height of his illustrative and satirical prowess—just a few years before his comic characters were adapted into the legendary 1964 television series The Addams Family, cementing his place in global pop culture history.

Distinguished Scholar Provenance (Biography):

This fine copy arrives directly from the personal library of Dr. Albert Keidel, the eminent American development economist, former Senior Economist at the World Bank's Beijing office, and faculty member at George Washington University. While Dr. Keidel's professional lifetime was defined by rigorous analytical contributions to East Asian macroeconomics, his preservation of this counter-cultural masterpiece reveals a sophisticated private appreciation for the avant-garde humor and visual irony of his era. This captivating intersection between serious policy scholarship and mid-century dark comedy endows the volume with an outstanding provenance story for discerning collectors.
