Checker collects a new portion of McCay's career in these oversized Flash Gordon format collections of his editorial artwork. This edition focuses on editorials that appeared from 1913-1917 as the United States saw an escalation of violence in Europe as a build up to World War I.

McCay's cartooning style, although decades ahead of its time, was popular during his lifetime. With the advent of motion pictures, McCay leveraged his public popularity as a cartoonist to introduce what he would become most famous for - animation! Hailed as the Father of Animation, McCay's static cartoons are no less vibrant and unique. Volume 7 features McCay's lavish, detailed illustrations from his New York editorial period, as well as a collection of comic strips.

Volume 5 of Checker's landmark collection of McCay's output other than Little Nemo in Slumeberland. Includes late 1908 strip work and editorial cartoons from the New York American.

_______________ Banksy. His work. Photographed. With comments by Banksy. In a book.
