The Rocky and Bullwinkle Book

Rocky and His Friends, Jay Ward's animated cartoon show starring a flying squirrel and an intellectual moose, debuted in 1959 and instantly won the hearts of audiences and critics alike. Sophisticated, political, and wickedly satirical, it was the first animated program to appeal to children and adults - though they laughed at entirely different moments. Later called The Bullwinkle Show, it challenged all previously lauded animated shows and set the precedent for future ones. It's been over thirty-five years since Ward's All-American Squirrel and Knows-It-All Moose hit the airwaves, and though the show originally ran only five years, it remains one of the most-loved programs ever created. Now, for the first time, the incredible adventures of Bullwinkle J. Moose, Rocket J. Squirrel, Boris Badenov, and Natasha Fatale come alive in this comprehensive collectible filled with vibrant illustrations, long-lost memorabilia, and lots of great insider information. Featuring hilarious behind-the-scenes tales of the show's creation and phenomenal success, a blow-by-blow account of each memorably sidesplitting episode, and page after page of full-color original art that is as authentic as it is outrageous, The Rocky and Bullwinkle Book is the first authorized book to celebrate the classic series - a perfect addition to every loyal fan's collection.
