About the Author
The endless hours of Saturday morning cartoon-watching finally turned into something a bit more practical for Marty Gitlin, who used his wonderful memories and passion for cartoons to co-author this blast of a book titled A Celebration of Animation: The 100 Greatest Cartoon Characters in Television History. Marty is no stranger to pop culture authoring. His Great American Cereal Book (Harry Abrams, 2012) reached No. 1 in both the Americana and Breakfast Book categories on Amazon and remained there for months. He has also authored several sports-related trade books, including Powerful Moments in Sports: The Most Significant Sporting Events in American History.After a journalism career in which Marty won more than 45 writing awards, he embarked on a freelance writing career that included coverage of the Cleveland Browns (as opposed to a football team) . Marty has had over 130 books published since 2006, many in the educational realm, but several highly successful trade books that have resulted in widespread local and national media coverage.
