"Probably the best biography of a cartoonist ever written, and is surely one of the best dozen or so books on comic art ever written . . . John Canemaker’s text is that great and most welcome rarity, a genuine work of scholarship about a cartoonist . . . a model for other books about comic art."-- Michael Barrier, The Comics Journal"This is one book that anyone interested in our cultural heritage can’t afford to miss."-- Art Spiegelman, USA TODAY"John Canemaker’s biography should go a long way toward putting McCay firmly back on the map . . . He satisfies your curiosity about McCay’s life, sets him in the context of his times, and comments perceptively on his art."-- John Gross, NEW YORK TIMES"At Last! Winsor McCay has found his Boswell."--Leonard Maltin, ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT
