Overview

Take a fun look back at Quacker Oats, Blisterine, and more classic packaging parodies--plus an interview with creator Art Spiegelman!

Known affectionately among collectors as "Wacky Packs," the Topps stickers that parodied well-known consumer brands were a phenomenon in the 1970s--even outselling the Topps Company's baseball cards for a while. But few know that the genius behind it all was none other than Art Spiegelman--the Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novelist who created Maus.

This treasury includes an interview with Spiegelman about his early career and his decades-long relationship with the memorabilia company--as well as a colorful compendium that will bring back memories of such products as Plastered Peanuts, Jail-O, Weakies cereal, and many more.

Illustrated by notable comics artists Kim Deitch, Bill Griffith, Jay Lynch, Norm Saunders, and more, this collection is a visual treat, a load of laughs, and a tribute to a beloved product that's been delighting kids (and adults) for decades.
