What Our Customers Say...

Description

Colour Plates, First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, Scarce, With Slipcase

The scarce first edition of this publication, housed in the publisher's original illustrated card carrying case, with plastic handle.

Consisting of two volumes, held together in the publisher's unopened shrink wrap.

The larger of the two volumes in this set is all issues of McCay's Little Nemo, termed 'a diminutive hero of comic narrative, but one of the greatest dream voyagers of the 20th century'. These comics set standards for panel layout and storytelling technique, timing and pacing. This volume collects all 549 episodes of Little Nemo, in full colour.

The second volume of this collection is art historian Alexander Braun's critical study 'Wilson McCay: A Life of Imaginative Genius'. Braun places McCay's life and work within the cultural history of the American media and entertainment industry, exploring the artistic and historical value of McCay's dream narrative.
