Summary

Here are more of Little Nemo's dreams of Slumberland - Winsor McCay's world of fantasy, terror, humor, and grand adventure. This is the second volume in the centennial celebration of the most spectacular comic strip of all time: a strip acclaimed for its artistic majesty, unbounded imagination, and the ground-breaking techniques that helped define a new art form. In 2005, the publication of Little Nemo in Slumberland - So Many Splendid Sundays marked the centennial of Winsor McCay's supreme graphic achievement. That book astounded the world of comics and art, becoming the most highly praised book of its kind, ever! This new collection presents more of those famed Sunday newspaper pages - a "best of" collection from 1906 to 1924, with examples from all three incarnations of Little Nemo. Here are 110 more digitally-restored pages, presented in their original size and colors, including many pages that have never been reprinted before in any format. 16 X 21 inches

Author Biography

Zenas Winsor McCay (c. 1867–71 or September 26, 1869 – July 26, 1934) was an American cartoonist and animator. He is best known for the comic strip Little Nemo (1905–14; 1924–26) and the animated film Gertie the Dinosaur (1914). For contractual reasons, he worked under the pen name Silas on the comic strip Dream of the Rarebit Fiend.

In his drawing, McCay made bold, prodigious use of linear perspective, particularly in detailed architecture and cityscapes. He textured his editorial cartoons with copious fine hatching, and made color a central element in Little Nemo. His comic strip work has influenced generations of cartoonists and illustrators. The technical level of McCay's animation—its naturalism, smoothness, and scale—was unmatched until Walt Disney's feature films arrived in the 1930s. He pioneered inbetweening, the use of registration marks, cycling, and other animation techniques that were to become standard.
