Dreams of the Rarebit Fiend #[nn]

Jan 1973 · Dover Publications · 3.50 USD

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.
