Get ready for a dizzying dive into the “McCay Dimension” with this true and false tribute to the undisputed master of the imagination.McCay is an invented biography chronicling authentic – though only partially true – stories of the life of the future creator of Little Nemo, Winsor McCay – in which McCay’s life is enriched by an imaginary encounter with British mathematician and science fiction writer Charles Hinton. Hinton, as a mathematician and philosopher, postulates the existence of a fourth spatial dimension – and seeks an artist capable of representing it, one with an innate sense of perspective and a limitless imagination. In Winsor McCay, Hinton finds such a man, and when their imaginations combine, an entirely new world opens up to them both…
“Truly strange and truly wonderful” – The Observer, Best Books of 2018 “Deeply strange, incredibly fun sf/fantasy noir with artwork that pales only to that of McCay himself” – Library Journal“A brain-bending book … peculiarly compelling” – SciFi Now“Smolderen infuses McCay with a surreal, dreamlike plot … Bramanti’s art is stunning … An inspired book in every sense of the word” – Foreword Reviews “Will hold you until the final page … Highly recommended” – Down The Tubes“The dreamscapes with which Nemo and Fiend interact are rich and full” – The Comics Journal“Smolderen and Bramanti’s McCay is the stuff that dreams are made of… and magically, much more” - Print Mag“A captivating broad-strokes plot and fascinating small details … an accomplished piece of work, and one you can return to many times with equal fascination” – Multiversity Comics“Full of weird ideas and a pretty keen plot, all wrapped around a compelling (if fictional) portrait of a brilliant cartoonist” – Atomic Junk
