Today, Winsor McCay (1867-1934) is universally acknowledged as the first master of both the comic strip and the animated cartoon. Although invented by others, both genres were developed into enduring popular art of the highest imagination through McCay's innovative genius. Before his remarkable Litttle Nemo in Slumberland, McCay created two strips starring young children. From the publishers of the widely-acclaimed deluxe reprint Little Nemo In Slumberland: So Many Splendid Sundays!, this book features all of the Little Sammy Sneeze color pages (1904-05) plus Hungry Henrietta, McCay's other comic, which appeared on the back of Sammy in the Sunday New York Herald. The unique style of this book presents two other "flipside" comics of 1904: The Woozlebeasts and The Upside Downs, along with the complete 27-chapter saga of Hungry Henrietta. All comics are digitally restored in the original size and colors. Hardbound.

From Winsor McCay, creator of the world-renowned "Little Nemo in Slumberland," comes the improbable adventures of Little Sammy Sneeze. He simply couldn't stop it, he never knew when it was coming his potent sneezes, that is, causing everything from minor irritation to hurricane-like devastation. Here is a complete collection of the Sunday Comics from 1904-1905. The book also features the actual reverse side of the original comic strips including McCay's "Hungry Henrietta," the nonsense-limerick strip "The Woozlebeasts," and the amazing fantasy of Gustave Verbeek's "Upside-Downs" and "Terrors of the Tiny Tads." A marvelous collection of early American comic strips digitally restored and presented in their original size and colors.
Winsor McCay (1869 1934) was a pioneer of the comic strip (Little Nemo in Slumberland) and one of the founding fathers of animation (Gertie the Dinosaur). His work is enormously influential in both fields and directly inspired Walt Disney, Chuck Jones, Federico Fellini, Art Spiegelman, Carl Barks, Maurice Sendak, and Robert Crumb, to name just a few.
