From Aardman to Zoetrope, Disney to Miyazaki, Hanna-Barbera to Pixar, and everything in between! The Comic Book History of Animation is a comprehensive graphic novel history of the filmmakers and beloved characters of animated film from the past century and a half, and is essential for fans of the medium and “toon newbies” alike.

As a lifelong animation fan who grew up on Looney Tunes and Johnny Quest reruns, this book was a serious passion project - Fred and I created it during the COVID-19 lockdowns and self-funded it through a Kickstarter campaign in 2021 before bringing it to IDW/Penguin.
