McCay's cartooning style, although decades ahead of its time, was popular during his lifetime. With the advent of motion pictures, McCay leveraged his public popularity as a cartoonist to introduce what he would become most famous for - animation! Hailed as the Father of Animation, McCay's static cartoons are no less vibrant and unique.
However, as popular as McCay was, in the last hundred years since his death, his work has been poorly preserved, and latter generations have been unable learn about this cartooning legend. Checker is setting out to collect the lesser-known works of this cartooning pioneer, who was also the mind and pen behind "Little Nemo in Slumberland".
The McCay Collection collects all five books currently in print, with features such as "Dream of the Rarebit Fiend", "A Pilgrim's Progress", "Hungry Henrietta", "Sammy Sneeze", a wide variety of McCay's lavishly detailed editorial cartoons, and much more! Five books of rare McCay works for $79.95 means you get one book for FREE!
