About the author

Was an American cartoonist and animator, best known for the comic strip Little Nemo (begun 1905) and the animated cartoon Gertie the Dinosaur (1914). For legal reasons, he worked under the pen name Silas on the comic strip Dream of the Rarebit Fiend.
A prolific artist, McCay's pioneering early animated films far outshone the work of his contemporaries, and set a standard followed by Walt Disney and others in later decades. His comic strip work has influenced generations of artists, including creators such as William Joyce, André LeBlanc, Moebius, Maurice Sendak, Chris Ware and Bill Watterson.

Reviews

[Michael A. Johnston · Rating 4 out of 5]

Impie becomes almost as important as Flip in most of the Nemo strips in this Volume, another detraction. The beginning of it are some reprints, the sequences aren't quite as engaging, and the last 30 pages are selections from one of McCay's other strips "Dream of the Rarebit Fiend". That explores similar dream sequences as the better known Nemo, but are all one-off gag strips. Kind of a downer end to a great comic run. Call this 4-.
