The Complete Dream of the Rarebit Fiend

Winsor McCay’s surreal newspaper strip gets a complete, restored collection from Studiocomix Press, launching in 2025. Known for its darkly comic, dreamlike sequences where characters face bizarre, often nightmarish consequences after indulging in Welsh rarebit, this series gathers McCay’s original run in a definitive edition. It’s a vital showcase of early 20th-century sequential art, highlighting McCay’s pioneering mastery of panel layout and psychological fantasy.
