The Comic Book History of Animation: True Toon Tales of the Most Iconic Characters, Artists and Styles! by Fred Van Lente

5.0

Fascinating history of virtually the entire history of animation as we know it, starting with sideshow proto-animation called "chalk-talking" and leading all the way up to Pixar. It's mostly about animation in America, though a decent amount of space is given to anime as well. I came away feeling like I learned a lot.
