When the comics were in their infancy, much of the subject matter was social satire taken from the newspaper itself.
But this new art form also found a new and unique sorce for content: fantasy and science fiction.
Included in this book are over 150 fantasy comic strips from 1900-1915.
Included are the complete comic strip work of Lyonel Feininger Wee Willie Winkie and The Kin-der-Kids, as well as work by Winsor McCay, George McManus and others.
Ground-breaking work like The Explorigator, Naughty Pete, Nibsy Jungle Imps, Dream of the Rarebit Fiend plus dozens of fantastical comics by the greatest fantasy cartoonists of the age.
All are lovingly restored and reproduced in the original size and colors.
