Here's to the centennial of Edward Gorey's birth! Frivolity at the edge of a Moral Swamp, anyone? With this special edition calendar's 12 images unearthed from the Gorey archive, you'll revel in a year's worth of crosshatched inscrutability from the master himself, as well as enjoying a collectible print of the drop curtain he designed for Amphigorey: The Musical.

And unlike Neville, of Gashlycrumb Tinies fame (featured in March), you will most certainly not die of ennui as part of an abecedarium, no matter how celebrated that primer might be. A Renaissance man of boundless imagination, Gorey created more than 100 works, designed sets and costumes for theatrical productions, and had a profound affection for ballet, literature, film, and animals.

Gorey brought to life enigmatic, humorous tales from the laboratory of his mind, leaving his unique stamp on American art and culture.
