Dinomania - The Lost Art of Winsor Mccay, Secret Origins of King Kong, Urge to

Informationen zum Autor Winsor McCay (1869-1934) was a pioneer of the comic strip (Little Nemo in Slumberland) and one of the founding fathers of animation (Gertie the Dinosaur). His work is enormously influential in both fields and directly inspired Walt Disney, Chuck Jones, Federico Fellini, Art Spiegelman, Carl Barks, Maurice Sendak, and Robert Crumb, to name just a few. Klappentext This is a deluxe, oversize collection of Winsor McCay's (Little Nemo) "lost" comic strip. Zusammenfassung This comic strip by cartooning pioneer Winsor McCay! titled simply Dino! opens a surprising new window into McCay's life and work and showcases his exquisitely beautiful and delicate delineations (exactingly reproduced from the original art). Merkl explores the influences McCay brought to the strip-including McCay's own Gertie the Dinosaur animated shorts! the animation in 1933's King Kong! and the growth of New York City from the Holland Tunnel to the Empire State Building-and traces our love of dinosaurs and monster movies down through the decades.
