''Addams Family'' cartoonist and creator Charles Addams original 1946 painting personally owned by Ray Bradbury. True to Addams' whimsical and macabre tone, painting depicts a landscape scene at twilight with a Gothic mansion overlooking a shore, and with ghoulish creatures and spirits ascending towards the house. Signed, ''Chas Adams'' at upper right. Mixed media on illustration board was selected to be the cover image for Bradbury's book, ''From the Dust Returned'', which was released in 2001. Painting measures 17'' x 12'' and is matted and framed to an overall size of 24'' x 19''. Chip to frame, otherwise near fine. With a COA from the Ray Bradbury estate.
