The Dream of the Rarebit Fiend

What is over one hundred old and still has relevance today and can be attributed as one of the founding fathers of comic strip foundation to all we read today in comic book form. Everything begets to something in a grandeur scale in any form of entertainment. The Dream of the Rarebit Fiend. What never heard of it? Winsor McCay? No, that one too. Winsor McCay was the creator of Little Nemo in Slumberland (not the fish), the first true comic strip and he also animated one of the first cartoons called Gertie the Dinosaur. The true pioneer of the comic book craft. The strip is now lost in translation of a time long gone. The imagination flourishes abound with wild concepts that still have life today. Stereotypes and bigotry aside which was the norm of 100 years ago, you have to marvel at the richness of the ideas and the lack of source material to draw from. Today’s cartoonists are just a few keyboard strokes to find information for their strips. For the first time The Dream of the Rarebit Fiend is collected as it was supposed to be. A bit pricey for most, but for the serious connoisseur in comic history this is a great find. The Dream of the Rarebit Fiend was also adapted into film. This book has been printed by many publishers in the past because it’s public domain and you could easily find it on the net here and there but this limited edition is a great addition to any collection.
