Winsor ties: At Silver Bullet Comic Books, the industrious Tim O'Shea talks to Checker publisher Mark Thompson about Winsor McCay: Early Works, Vol. III:

"The material is so rare that we were kinda shocked as we discovered more sources. I came across a collection up at the cartoon library at Ohio State while we were researching Milton Caniff. The more I looked into it the more I discovered just how lucky we might get. The source material and the large stockpile of cartoons he did prior to Little Nemo made for a potential of several volumes. Since this material has been collected VERY sparingly we were thrilled to be the publisher that undertook this critical reclaiming of a part of comics history that might have been lost to the ages."
