Collecting Comic Character Clocks And Watches

Animated novelty items date back to the nineteenth century. The artwork, design, and in some cases animation are unique, and enhance any collection.

This delightful book covers the lighter side of horological history. Comic character timepieces from the earliest clocks to the present day quartz wristwatches have delighted children and adults alike, with some of the more creative or popular ones being avidly sought after by collectors. With hundreds of beautiful color photos, this is a celebration of American imagination and artistry. A price guide completes the work.

This is the most comprehensive dictionary available on comic art produced around the world. The catalog provides detailed information about more than 60,000 cataloged books, magazines, scrapbooks, fanzines, comic books, and other materials in the Michigan State University Libraries, America's premiere library comics collection. The catalog lists both comics and works about comics. Each book or serial is listed by title, with entries as appropriate under author, subject, and series. Besides the traditional books and magazines, significant collections of microfilm, sound recordings, vertical files, and realia (mainly T-shirts) are included. Comics and related materials are grouped by nationality (e.g., French comics) and genre (e.g., funny animal comics). Several times larger than any previously published bibliography, list, or catalog on the comic arts, this unique international dictionary catalog is indispensible for all scholars and students of comics and the broad field of popular culture.
