![]() He travels there every night, and ends every strip awakened in bed, comforted by a parent if his dream has been particularly stressful. The printed size of 13.8 inches by 10.5 inches is roughly half that of the original folded newspaper inserts, but it’s more than good enough to appreciate the delicacy and vibrancy of Winsor McCay’s work.Ī young boy, around ten years old, dreams vividly of a magic kingdom, where the only boundaries are the limits of his imagination. Each of the almost 100 page collections features full colour reproduction that will be acceptable to all but the most demanding of buyers, along with an erudite introduction from newspaper strip historian Richard Marschall. It’s available in several formats, and for those unable to afford the luxury of the Taschen collection reprinting the complete series at its original broadsheet size, the best bet is the six volumes of this late 1980s and early 1990s hardcover reprint co-published by Fantagraphics Books and Titan Books. Consistently imaginative, beautifully drawn, and insanely decorative, the strip has never been bettered. ![]() ![]() Over a century since its introduction, Little Nemo in Slumberland remains a masterpiece of the comic form. ![]()
