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

[Philip Athans · Rating 5 out of 5]

In this third volume, McCay continues to develop his superior sense of motion, with long sequences in which the ground under Nemo’s feet moves and/or is revealed to be something other than solid ground. I particularly loved the weird creatures like the singing umbrella wolf, the pie faced sciatica, and the wild fuzzlekip. Genius!

Nemo travels further afield, gets a new companion and becomes Captain of King Morpheus's airship! It's a bit of a shame that McCay kept interrupting the fun serials with those wake-up panels.
