Dinomania Hardcover Lost Art Winsor Mccay King Kong New York

"The Lost Art of Winsor McCay, the Secret Origins of King Kong, and the Urge to Destroy New York This recently discovered comic strip by cartooning pioneer Winsor McCay opens a surprising new window into McCay's life and work and showcases his exquisitely beautiful delineations (reproduced from the original art). Merkl explores the influences McCay brought to the strip - from Gertie the Dinosaur to 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."
