Padraic O’Glasain: Winsor McCay: Little Nemo’s Daddy (1941)

In 1938, four years after Winsor McCay’s death, his son Robert commissioned his father’s biography from Padraic O’Glasain. This book, written by a long-time friend of the family, who engaged in long conversations with Winsor and Robert and even had access to Winsor’s secret diaries, is the most important original source for Winsor McCay’s life – but was never published.
This is the first edition of this brilliant and enlightening manuscript, scholarly annotated and enrichened by hundreds of Winsor McCay’s breathtaking strips, never reprinted since their original publication a century ago.
