| A comprehensive, fully re-mastered collection of turn-of-the-century rarities from cartooning and animation pioneer, Winsor McCay: "Tales of the Jungle Imps," "Little Sammy Sneeze," "Dreams of a Rarebit Fiend," and "Pilgrim's Progress." Best known for "Little Nemo in Slumberland," and the seminal animated feature "Gertie the Dinosaur," McCay's artistic talent and whimsical humour are on full display here.
Checker's goal is to gather in one series all of McCay's work other than Little Nemo, which has seen widespread reprint publication, most recently by Fantagraphics Books. Besides the first-time-ever complete re-printings of better know fixtures in the McCay canon like Hungry Henrietta, Little Sammy Sneeze and A Pilgrim's Progress, Checker is gathering short-lived rarities from his earliest days as a newspaper illustrator at the Cincinnati Enquirer, and briefer Herald/Telegram/American experiments like Phoolish Phillip, Sister's Little Sister's Beau, Poor Jake, Mr. Goodenough and several others.
