Dreams of the Rarebit Fiend

Silas brings Winsor McCay’s classic newspaper strip into the 1970s with this single-issue revival from Dover Publications, reimagining the surreal, dream-logic vignettes that originally debuted decades earlier. The creator handles both writing and art, offering a compact homage to the feverish, moralistic fantasies of the Rarebit Fiend. Though brief, this 1973 release preserves the spirit of McCay’s work for a new generation, serving as a curious footnote in the history of comic reprints.
