{"product_id":"dinomania-winsor-mccay-9781606998403","title":"Dinomania: The Lost Art of Winsor McCay, the Secret Origins of King Kong, and the Urge to Destroy New York","description":"Winsor McCay, the creator of \u003cem\u003eLittle Nemo in Slumberland\u003c\/em\u003e, is internationally renowned as a pioneer in comics and animation. But author Ulrich Merkl's dedicated sleuthing has unearthed a never-published strip by McCay that was lost following the artist's untimely death. Titled simply \u003cem\u003eDino\u003c\/em\u003e, it 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 \u003cem\u003eGertie the Dinosaur\u003c\/em\u003e 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. Breathtakingly designed, each page of this deluxe oversize volume is overflowing with amazing imagery, with more than 650 photographs and illustrations (more than 250 in color) -- most of them seen here for the first time in a century! An essential volume for everyone interested in the development of the comic strip -- and our never-ending fascination with dinosaurs!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Winsor McCay, Ulrich Merkl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1606998404\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781606998403\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fantagraphics Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/23\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 15.80h x 11.90w x 1.30d","brand":"Winsor McCay","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43984564977919,"sku":"9781606998403","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5480dee1-1820-4b32-acdb-6566547931f3.jpg?v=1683272989","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dinomania-winsor-mccay-9781606998403","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
