Perfect for you if...

  • You grew up in the 1970s collecting these stickers and want to revisit that particular joy with the actual creator's insights.
  • You love graphic novels and comics history, especially learning how major artists cut their teeth on commercial projects.
  • You collect nostalgia memorabilia or work in design and packaging, and want to see how parody became pop culture.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You're looking for in-depth critical analysis of Art Spiegelman's work—this is a fun retrospective, not a scholarly deep-dive.
  • You have no connection to 1970s culture and find period-specific nostalgia tedious rather than charming.
  • You prefer text-heavy books over visual collections; this is mostly illustrations with supporting commentary.

About this book

This book presents a collection of Wacky Packages, the Topps stickers that parodied consumer brands and became a phenomenon in the 1970s, at times outselling Topps baseball cards. The collection features packaging parodies such as Quacker Oats, Blisterine, Plastered Peanuts, Jail-O, and Weakies cereal. The book includes an interview with Art Spiegelman, the Pulitzer Prize–winning graphic novelist who created Maus and was the creator behind Wacky Packages. Spiegelman discusses his early career and his long-standing relationship with the Topps Company. The illustrated compendium features artwork by comics artists Kim Deitch, Bill Griffith, Jay Lynch, Norm Saunders, and others, offering a visual collection of this memorabilia product.
