Edward Gorey

Edward Gorey was a remarkable illustrator with a quirky and subtly-demented sense of style.  Probably his best-known work is the animated introduction to the PBS series Mystery, but he's done a number book covers and such, as well as several books of his own -- including children's books that would probably give the average little child nightmares.  He died on April 15, 2000.
