August 4, 1907 Dreams of a Rarebit Fiend by Winsor McCay

 

Here's a panel-by-panel look at a 1907 Dreams of a Rarebit Fiend strip by the one and only Winsor McCay. A major innovator in the the early days of animation, this nightmarish comic reads like a storyboard from a horror movie. John Canemaker, who wrote Winsor McCay: His Life and Art,  calls this one of his most disturbing Dreams strips.
