One such advance was four-color printing, which brought to life stories inspired by both the technology of the time and the children's fiction enjoyed by a burgeoning middle class. This confluence brought about a unique genre within a new art form--the Fantasy Comic Strip. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese pages were a Sunday staple for less than two decades, soon replaced by humorous family comics that more closely mirrored the modern society. But from 1900 to 1915, American newspapers offered some of the most fascinating comics ever printed. And while Winsor McCay's Little Nemo in Slumberland is known worldwide, many of the great fantasy comics have virtually vanished -- until now. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePresented here in the original size and colors are the complete comics of Lyonel Feininger--\u003ci\u003eThe Kin-der-Kids\u003c\/i\u003e and\u003ci\u003e Wee Willie Winkie's World\u003c\/i\u003e, along with the complete adventures of: \u003ci\u003e The Explorigator\u003c\/i\u003e by Henry Grant Dart;\u003ci\u003e Nibsy the Newsboy\u003c\/i\u003e by George McManus;\u003ci\u003e Naughty Pete \u003c\/i\u003eby Charles Forbell, plus full-color \u003ci\u003eDream of the Rarebit Fiend\u003c\/i\u003e Sundays by Winsor McCay.
