Little Nemo in Slimberland was a Sunday fantasy comic from the early 20th century. This book featured full-sized reprints. This particular volume gives highlights from the 20 year run.
The images are stricking. It's fun to see early versions of fantasy surrealism and science fiction.
This is a half a century before marvel comics, twenty years before Superman. The dialogue is often stilted and very old-timey. But the short stories and wild adventures still kept the attention of my eight year old.
In the late 80's, there was an excellent anime adaptation of Little Nemo. That version included a strong nightmarish quality. The original comics did not. Both versions did capture that otherworldly odd feeling you get in dreams and boyish exploration.
Beautifully printed.
