Little Nemo: Dream Another Dream

"Little Nemo in Slumberland creator Winsor McCay might blush to see the awe-inspiring tribute his successors have assembled. On massive, 16-inch-by-21-inch pages (the same size as those on which McCay drew his seminal newspaper cartoon), some of the most exciting artists working in comics have created wildly diverse interpretations of Nemo and his exploits. Some contributors update Nemo; others subvert his Edwardian-era cheeriness; many simply send him on new adventures, re-creating McCay’s style with startling facility. They’re not very dreamlike, but these comics, like McCay’s, are more enjoyable than the sweetest slumber."
