DESCRIPTION:
A reproduction of some of the "Little Nemo" comic strip from the early 20th century. This volume reflects the distinctive art-nouveau style of the original drawings and follows Little Nemo as he journeys nightly into the world of dreams.
M. Dog said What Dreams May Come!. Little Nemo in Slumberland was introduced to America over a century ago, and these pages still have the power to astonish and touch anyone that reads them. The utter timelessness of this strip, both in artwork and vision, is the kind of testament to genius that very few graphic artists ever receive. Winsor McCay was such a genius and his major work, Little Nemo in Slumberland, is a vastly rich exploration of human dreams.What is it about Little Nemo that was so special? First and foremost, we have the pure draftsm. An intensely imaginative and creative road, though with some bumps along the way Little Nemo has been praised as one of the most original comic strips ever created, and it certainly is. It is surreal, imaginative, and very well-drawn and colored. It doesn't keep up all these qualities through to the end, but there is tremendous gold to be found in this treasure.Little Nemo is a comic strip about the adventures of a young boy as he encounters a great many surreal situations in his dreams. Each comic starts off with Nemo either in the dreamworld at the start, or in bed, and about to enter it. Ea. Mike T said A great collection!. The book came in excellent condition, the colors look fine, and it's an excellent read! Having only grown up with the movie "Little Nemo" I was excited to get into the books. It certainly is a product of its time (largely in regards to ethnicity, but that's to be expected) and regicide comes up more frequently than I had anticipated, but it is certainly a fascinating read about a young boy in a strange land.
