No problem! There was a reprint of After Man in 2018, and it's affordable under $40. Man After Man has indeed been out of print since 1990 and is fairly pricey between $100-300. Dougal Dixon has many other books too such has The New Dinosaurs, If Dinosaurs Were Alive Today, and many other dinosaur related books (many for children.) Most of these are out of print as well and are expensive, but worth it if you're really interested. Maybe you could luck out at your local library and just rent them.
There is however a rare book he made that was only released in Japan for some reason (and of course it's the most badass one) called Greenworld (グリーン・ワールド) about humanity colonizing an alien world and taming certain inhabitants. Although I've never seen Greenworld for sale on English sites, if you know how to order from Amazon Japan you can find the two books in the series for less than $20 a piece.
I linked to some PDF's in my original comment if buying isn't an option.
Well, the Rusty Brown story is shaping up well, but it's currently spread over about six short books (Acme Novelty Library, numbers 16-20, plus a few other bits elsewhere) and remains unfinished. He publishes another installment every year or so. But the Acme Novelty Library (the one I linked to above) is full of great shorter narratives, and Quimby the Mouse, while mostly earlier work, is also worthwhile if you still want more.
If you want some more Corrigan-esque stuff, the latest book -- Acme Novelty Library 20 is part of the larger Rusty Brown story arc, but it's also a standalone story about a tangential character.
> I think Michael Bay was quoted somewhere saying he made movies more geared to teenage boys.
First off, let me state that I really don't care what people watch. I look at Michael Bay films as safely constructed roller coasters. As seen here the man has learned what bumps, twists, and turns he can use to engage an audience without challenging it. He reuses scenes and ideas in a way that no one ever notices and I think is a brilliant(if nihilistic) way to see guaranteed money.
Now, let me explain why I hate the, "I make movies for teenage boys" defense. It is completely dismissive of all the great art that has been made for adolescents. Seriously, most people don't stop and think about this, but there is some pretty incredible stuff out there. Here is a small list of some of the amazing work made for children and teens:
The Red Balloon
The Works of Winsor Mccay
Calvin and Hobbes
Looney Tunes
Princess Mononoke
Star Wars
The Horror Films Starring Vincent Price
Scott Pilgrim
Fullmetal Alchemist
People use the quote you supplied as a get out of jail free card for valid criticism and it drives me nuts. Like what ever you feel like, but don't be dismissive of discussion because of a pointless quote.
I love this movie! I watched it all the time as a kid. I also love the original comic it was based on too, and picked this up a couple months back.
Little Nemo gives me similar feelings...

Kay Nielsen illustrations, similar feeling

Arthur rackham - He was prolific so look around.
English Fairy Tales - Illustrated by Arthur Rackham https://www.amazon.com/dp/1447449363/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_RSNjDb6K966JX
Queen Victoria died in 1901 so the stuff I’m listing is a bit later. I do think that the dawn of the Industrial Age made for some cool dreams.
Edit: when I was a kid my mom would read Goop stories to me. They are Victorian stories about little alien(?) creatures who need to learn manners.
The original Wizard Of Oz books might also scratch the itch.
E(ditch) Nesbit wrote fantastical stories too. Five Children and It (Puffin Classics) https://www.amazon.com/dp/014132161X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_HaOjDbV6EJFHG
Yeah, each of the stories I mentioned is a separate trade (sorry for the late reply - haven't been on Reddit for a while). Prepare for biiiig links:
If you're not in the UK then I'm very sorry for the UK links, haha.
Je ne suis pas experte mais si tu as aimé Pyongyang, tu aimeras sans doute les autres de Guy Delisle: Chroniques Birmanes, Shenzhen et Chroniques de Jérusalem.
Sinon sur l'histoire de la BD L'Art Invisible
Le Photographe est très intéressant, mélange de photo et bd sur l'afgnanistan.
Autrement dans un autre registre, il y a toujours Retour à la Terre de Larcenet
Charley’s War Vol. 1: Boy Soldier: The Definitive Collection https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1781086192/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_-mDXAb6JEQ131
Charley’s War by Pat Mills may be the greatest war comic ever written and they are currently getting ready to re-release it as 3 omnibus editions. Highly recommended 👍
