McCay

In McCay (2018–present), writer Thierry Smolderen and artist Jean-Philippe Bramanti craft a lyrical, deeply researched biographical portrait of Winsor McCay, the pioneering animator and cartoonist behind Little Nemo in Slumberland. Published by Titan Comics, this single-issue series—with English adaptation by Edward Gauvin—immerses readers in McCay’s early 20th-century world, exploring his restless creativity and the birth of modern animation. It matters as a thoughtful, visually inventive tribute to a foundational figure in comics and film, rendered by a creative team that honors his legacy without resorting to hagiography.
