A first edition of God’s First World (Harper & Row, 1970), written and illustrated by actor-artist Fred Gwynne, best known for his role as Herman Munster and his witty, whimsical illustrated books. This rare early work showcases Gwynne’s sharp pen-and-ink humor and mid-century graphic style, blending cosmic imagination with satire and a touch of existential wonder. Presented with its original dust jacket, this 1970 first edition captures a distinctive era of American visual storytelling — part fable, part social commentary, entirely Gwynne. This is a collectible example of Gwynne’s crossover talent between stage, screen, and studio art — and a charming addition to your mid-century or illustrated-book collection.
