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.
