- The pages are stitched in, rather than just glued. It's more expensive to produced a stitched book and it's a lot more durable. Abrams went the extra mile on that to make a better product.

Wacky Pack artists Art Spiegelman and
Jay Lynch.
- Art Spiegelman was a pioneer
in Wacky Packages, conceiving all of the
1st series titles you remember from 1973. He
went on to win the Pulitzer Prize in 1992.
- He hasn't talked about Wackys in decades so this article is greatly anticipated.
- Jay Lynch has been involved in Wackys
since the 60's conceiving over half of
the 70's Wackys and he has a keen perspective on the
genre.

before published "Lost Wackys" (actual stickers) exclusively
available only

not seen since 1967.
