Dreams of the Rarebit Fiend #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis Dover Humor edition collects Winsor McCay's classic newspaper strip 'Dreams of the Rarebit Fiend,' originally published from 1904 to 1911. The volume presents a selection of McCay's surreal, single-panel dream sequences, where characters indulge in rich, often unsettling meals of Welsh rarebit, leading to bizarre and nightmarish visions. A landmark of early comic art, it showcases McCay's masterful draftsmanship and inventive storytelling before his more famous work, 'Little Nemo in Slumberland.'
This 1973 Dover reprint collects sixty surreal, dreamlike strips from Winsor McCay’s classic Dream of the Rarebit Fiend, each a bizarre, hand-drawn nightmare sparked by the titular dish. Rendered in McCay’s signature meticulous style, the stories unfold in silent, exaggerated sequences where logic dissolves into the absurd—no recurring characters, no plot arcs, just a parade of unsettling visions. The original artwork, credited to McCay on the cover and interior, is reprinted here with the original lettering and inking, preserving the timeless, hand-crafted charm of the early 20th-century comic.
