books by Winsor McCay     books:       The Complete Little Nemo In Slumberland Volume III: 1908-19101 review Winsor Mccay Fantagraphics Books, 1990 Great Complete Series BUT BUYER BEWARE These are very nice, glossy, colorful books. The format is easy to read and there are a lot of extras relating to Little Nemo in Slumberland. HOWEVER, beware of the time span printed on the cover. Volume III states: 1908- 1910, which makes one think it covers all of 1908-1910, but this is not the case. Volume III covers only Sept 1908 through January 1910!!! So, really only a couple of months ...             The Complete Dream of the Rarebit Fiend (1904-1913)1 review Winsor; Merkl, Ulrich, Ed. McCay Ulrich Merkl, 2007 At Last the Fiend gets the treatment it deserves! "Dreams of the Rarebit Fiend" is McCay's overlooked masterpiece. "Little Nemo" gets all the press (don't get me wrong - it deserves the highest possible praise) but The Fiend is often equally compelling and more psychologically astute. More adult in subject matter than Nemo, it is less visually resplendant, but still quite powerful in its invocation of the fears and hopes underlying our ...             Little Nemo in Slumberland 2010 Calendar (Sunday Press Classic Comics Calendars)1 review Winsor McCay Sunday Press Books, 2009 Little Nemo: the Office Edition The only drawback to Sunday Press's two magnificent collections of "Little Nemo in Slumberland" is that their size, so necessary to convey the wonder of McCay's creation, makes them difficult to share outside of one's home. This calendar helps remedy that problem. Though not quite as large as the book pages, these 12 X 16 pages show off the Nemo dreams and nightmares quite nicely, with color ...             Complete Little Nemo in Slumberland 1908-19106 reviews Winsor McCay Slumberland Productions, 1990 The first volume of Winsor McCay's classic comic strip Winsor McCay's "Little Nemo in Slumberland" is a rare combination of artistry and imagination that deserves to be considered the first classic comic strip. "The Yellow Kid" came first, but it never demonstrated the superb craftsmanship of McCay's work, which is done in a distinctive "art nouveau" style that presages the coming of surrealism. Within the frames of his story McCay was able to ...             Little Sammy Sneeze1 review Sunday Press Books, 2007 Bless You, Sunday Press! At first glance, Winsor McCay's "Little Sammy Sneeze" comes across as the most unappealing of comic strips: all about a dull-looking, homely boy whose sole sign of life is to cock his head back and deliver a sneeze of monstrous proportions. This went on as a regular feature for about two years. And the most peculiar thing about it: it's frequently hilarious. Though Sammy is the regular, ...             Dreams of the Rarebit Fiend7 reviews Winsor McCay BiblioBazaar, 2009 Winsor McCay was a Master Storyteller! This is no children's book of comics! When I showed it to my over twenty-one daughter she asked,"This used to published in a newspaper?" She loved it as much as I did. The "Far side," type humor is still funny today. Dover said they removed some of the ethic humor that would offend people today. It is sad to me that people can't laugh at themselves any more without getting offended. I would have ...             Little Nemo in Slumberland: Many More Splendid Sundays, Volume 22 reviews Winsor McCay Sunday Press Books, 2008 Slumberland's Sunset If you bought the previous "Nemo" collection from Sunday Press, you know it was a whopper. And weren't all the "Nemo" pages worthy of a giant-sized book included in that volume? This book doesn't have a parade of sequences to match Nemo's journey to Slumberland, Befuddle Hall, nor the Flight to Mars, but you'd be hard-pressed to find another book that had 120 pages as fanciful and beautiful as ...             Little Nemo in Slumberland13 reviews Winsor McCay Duffield & Company, 1906 A stunning book Let's be honest: this book's not cheap. Is it worth the price tag? Without question or hesitation: yes. If you're even contemplating buying this book, I probably don't have to tell you how great the Little Nemo strip was. What you'll want to know is that this book will make you feel like you've never really seen Little Nemo until now. It is a magnificent, absolutely stunning book. First of ...             The Comics: An Illustrated History of Comic Strip Art2 reviews Jerry Robinson, Walt Kelly, ... Dark Horse, 2011 A Hidden Gem First published in '74, Robinson's THE COMICS -an informal history of the newspaper comic strip- stands the test of time better than most formal histories attempted in the years since. The book's format (no strip represented with more than one or two examples) allows Robinson the elbow room to go beyond simply recounting a chronological series of high points. Where the Bill Blackbeard anthologies ...             The Best of Little Nemo in Slumber Land4 reviews Winsor McCay, Richard Marschall Stewart, Tabori, & Chang, 1997 McCay is Magnificent If one cannot purchase the 6 vol set of the *complete* Little Nemo, this will have to do. (sigh) Any collection of McCay is worth having. All one can do is *cry* over the lack of skill when comparing this with modern strips. It is not impossible to have good story line AND good draftsmanship. Buy it, you will not be dissapointed!             Winsor McCay: Early Works, Vol. 6 (Winsor McCay: Early Works)2 reviews Winsor McCay Checker Book Publishing Group, 2005 For the discerning viewer McCay was the first "genius" of the medium. A master of many forms who could seemingly could delineate anything. This work brings you back to his roots.             Winsor McCay: Early Works Volume 8 (Winsor McCay: Early Works)2 reviews Winsor McCay Checker Book Publishing Group, 2006 Checker Scores a Winner With Vol. 8 It can't be easy to sell Winsor McCay. Afterall, McCay was doing his work long before the greats of Comic's Golden Age started making their mark. Heck, in most cases, even before they were born. When one considers that the work in this volume is a hundred years old it's nearly hard to fathom. While the McCay market may be a niche market, he still deserves a place among the great pioneers of ...             The Complete Little Nemo in Slumberland, Volume II: 1907-1908 (Complete Little Nemo)2 reviews Winsor McCay Fantagraphics Books/Titan Books, 1989 Great The editor Mr.Richard Marschall is at one time my creative writing teacher. I think this book is great.             Little Nemo In Slumberland HC Volume 2 Limited Edition1 review Winsor McCay Checker Book Publishing Group, 2007 Chasing Dreams Give Checker Book Publishing their due: they have mined the Winsor McCay motherload with great diligence. The physical dimensions of their books have often resulted in reprints that are of academic value only, but even that is better than all the gaps that have existed between infrequent and incomplete printings of "Dreams of the Rarebit Fiend" and "Little Nemo." McCay's work is not easy to ...             Little Nemo in the Palace of Ice and Further Adventures4 reviews Winsor McCay Dover Publications, 1976 Hmm, but is it new material? Well, I haven't actually bought this book. I was trying to figure out whether it was material that was in the complete collection (ISBN 3-8228-6300-9), or an independant graphic novel. My only thought on that is that I recognize the cover art from the aforementioned collection, which might help some of you in deciding.             Winsor McCay: Early Works, Volume 82 reviews Winsor McCay Unknown, 2006 Checker Scores a Winner With Vol. 8 It can't be easy to sell Winsor McCay.

They evoke a by-gone day when human dignity was at the forefront of our social consciousness. Things have changed in this regard and not for the better. The themes of youth and old age, duty, the vice of envy, the worlds each of ...             Little Nemo In Slumberland HC Volume 1 Limited Edition2 reviews Winsor McCay Checker Book Publishing Group, 2007 Throughout the 20th century, newspaper comic strips have been a staple of American popular culture. Throughout the 20th century, newspaper comic strips have been a staple of American popular culture. Winsor McCay's "Little Nemo In Slumberland" was a color comic strip that debuted in the New York 'Hearld' on October 15, 1905 and achieved an immense popularity almost overnight. It continued to be published until December 1913, when McCay was pressed by his editor to suspend the series in order to ...             Dream of the Rarebit Fiend the Saturdays3 reviews Winsor McCay Checker Books, 2006 In 1904 he created what became a landmark newspaper comic strip series called 'Dream of the Rarebit Fiend' Winsor McCay began his career as a professional artist and illustrator in the late 1800s. In 1904 he created what became a landmark newspaper comic strip series called 'Dream of the Rarebit Fiend' which ran until 1911 and was based on a one knock joke about consuming a mildly hallucinogenic food popularly called 'Welsh Rarebit'.
