Wascally Wabbit: The History of Bugs Bunny
Between 1940 and 1964, Bugs Bunny delighted movie audiences as he outwitted the hapless hunter Elmer Fudd, the bombastic Yosemite Sam, the unworldly Marvin the Martian, and the voracious Tasmanian Devil. "Wascally Wabbit" explores how Bugs Bunny came to be and looks at how directors such as Bob Clampett, Chuck Jones, and Friz Freleng shaped his career over the years.

About the author
Michael Samerdyke
63 books21 followersI was born in Cleveland, Ohio and currently reside in southwest Virginia. I've always been attracted to the fantastic, particularly, but not always horror.
In the grim year of 2020 I published "Wascally Wabbit," a history of Bugs Bunny, and "Guess Who?" a history of Woody Woodpecker. Both cartoon giants turn 80 in 2020..
Among my non-fiction books are "Horror Cavalcade," a two-volume work that covers the best horror movies and radio and TV episodes of the 20th Century. ""Radio's Outstanding Theater of Thrills," is a history of "Suspense," a CBS radio drama that ran from 1942 to 1962 and adapted stories by Cornell Woolrich and Ray Bradbury, and starred performers such as Agnes Moorehead, Joseph Cotten, and William Conrad.
My fiction books include two trilogies. First there is the "Dr. Kino" trilogy (The Dream Cabinet of Dr. Kino, Featured Creatures, and The Curse of Dr. Kino) which are horror.
The Tales of Kurgania trilogy is set in Kurgania, an imaginary, vampire and werewolf-haunted East Central European country. The trilogy begins with "Land Beneath the Shadows," which covers the era from the death of Attila the Hun to the fall of Communism. "Lost Shadows" is a collection of stories 'based' on the Kurganian movies of the Interwar era. The third book, "Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors," looks at how the legends and memories of Kurgania affect a writer today.
Outside the horror genre, my novel "The Adventures of Captain Starburst" deals with a teenager in the 1970s who gets superpowers and learns that they don't solve his problems.
