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.

"MECCANO to TRILOGO" released in October 2006, was the FIRST book published about Star Wars action figure toys from a European licensee - dedicated to the elusive Meccano line, by the French licensee in 1978, to the European Trilogo line that was available until 1986. It featured yet the most extensive coverage about both toy lines with the whole collections presented for the first time with additional information and photography. This commemorative edition of "MECCANO to TRILOGO" is a reprint of the original long sold-out book released in 2006, now highly prized by collectors. Its original content has been preserved strictly identical in terms of text and pictures; consequently, photographies were not enhanced and some information may appear outdated. The purpose of this reprint is solely to provide a book as a collectible itself. (for added content and coverage of the whole French merchandising, see 'La FRENCH TOUCH' book released in 2013)
