1. Wee Willie Winkie's World by Lyonel Feininger.
Forgotten Fantasy; Sunday Press Books, 2011.

Lyonel Feininger began his career as a cartoonist and illustrator, creating both the comic strips The Kin-Der-Kids and Wee Willie Winkie's World in the early twentieth century for the Chicago Tribune. These strips, as well as Winsor McCay's Little Nemo, contributed to the gradual evolution of comics through a combination of skillful drawings, vibrant color palettes, experimental panel design, and fantastic continuous storylines. Later, Feininger shifted his career focus toward the fine arts. As an essential proponent of German Expressionism, and a key founder of the Bauhaus, Feininger painted his morphologic figures and charmingly dilapidated structures in the same vivid palette of his early newspaper strips.
