Description
In 1949 the first made-for-television cartoon series debuted on a major network. Tele-Comics embraced the popular cliffhanger serial genre, using nonmoving comic strip panels and a handful of radio actors to produce a show at a fraction of the cost accrued by a live show. Despite the success of Tele-Comics and a few other such shows, television cartoons languished until 1954 when Walt Disney produced Disneyland. From such pioneers as Tele-Comics and Crusader Rabbit to modern fare such as X-Men and Beavis and Butthead, this is the first reference book to detail animated cartoons made exclusively for television from 1949 through 1993. Each entry includes the shows title, network, studios and full production information when available. An essay blending plot description, critical commentary, and background information is also provided for each cartoon. A discussion of the voice artist concludes the work.

怪谈——日本动漫中的传统妖怪
By 周英妖怪文化并不是恐怖的文化，也不是猎奇的文化。之所以说妖怪文化到现在仍然有价值，决不是因为被它的光怪陆离照花了眼，而是透过荒诞的表面，我们可以清晰地触摸到它包含在其中的严肃内核，撇去虚幻的浮沫，我们能够明白地看到它其中蕴涵的真切道理。日本的女妖敢爱敢恨，正是这强烈的情感使得女妖们血肉丰满，性情激烈，呼之欲出。因为“恨”，她们能不惜一切代价去报仇，去反抗。这些痴人，因为无法化解心中的纠结，又无法将生命瓦全于人世，终于在另一个世界中找到了一席之地，或痛快淋漓、或无可奈何地游荡于苍茫天地之间。周英编的《怪谈（日本动漫中的传统妖怪第2版）》图文并茂地介绍了日本动漫中的传统妖怪。
