Nocturnal adventures
The most productive of Little Nemo in Slumberland

Little Nemo is also a diminutive hero of comic narrative but he sure stands tall as some of the greatest voyagers of the 20th century. The master creation of Winsor McCay (1869–1934), this small and restless sleeper inspired generations of artists with his weekly adventures from bed to Slumberland, a dream realm of colorful companions, elaborate architecture, psychedelic scenery, and thrilling adventures.

Winsor McCay’s The Complete Little Nemo 1905-1909 collects in full, glorious color, 220 of the finest of Nemo’s nocturnal escapades from the period 1905-1909. Through them, we delight not only Within the splendor of Slumberland, a surreal benchmark for Robert Crumb and Federico Fellini, but in addition McCay’s pioneering panel layout and storytelling techniques, his timing and pacing, and atypical architectural and other detail.

Within the illustrated accompanying volume, art historian and comics expert Alexander Braun places Winsor McCay’s life and work inside the cultural history of the U.S. media and entertainment industry, and explores the immense art historical significance of McCay’s dream narrative. Without delay an adventure story, visual delight, and piece of cultural history, this publication is an immense monument to one of the innovative pioneers–and one of the intrepid explorers–of comic history.
