The Complete Little Nemo 1905–1927 di Alexander Braun; Winsor McCay

Adventures in pyjamas: The complete Little Nemo compilation

Meet Little Nemo, a diminutive hero of comic narrative, but one of the greatest dream voyagers of the 20th century. The master creation of Winsor McCay (1869–1934), restless sleeper Nemo inspired generations of artists with his weekly adventures from bed to Slumberland, a realm of colorful companions, psychedelic scenery, and thrilling escapades.

Nemo’s creator Winsor McCay was a founding figure in the modern American entertainment industry, above all with his revolutionary comics, which set standards for panel layout and storytelling technique, timing and pacing, and architectural and other detail that left an inestimable influence on subsequent artists, including Robert Crumb and Federico Fellini.

TASCHEN’s sumptuous Winsor McCay: The Complete Little Nemo 1905–1927 collects, for the very first time, and in full, glorious color, all 549 episodes of Little Nemo. In the illustrated accompanying volume, art historian and comics expert Alexander Braun places Winsor McCay’s life and work within the cultural history of the U.S. media and entertainment industry, and explores the immense art historical value of McCay's dream narrative. At once an adventure story, visual delight, and piece of cultural history, this publication is a tremendous monument to one of the most innovative pioneers—and one of the most intrepid explorers—of comic history.

The second volume, in style of newspaper pages, is a softcover edition examining McCay’s life and work, illustrated by historical photographs and documents. Art historian and comics expert Alexander Braun places Winsor McCay’s life and work within the cultural history of the U.S. media and entertainment industry.… (altro)

Little Nemo in the Palace of Ice and Further… di Winsor McCay

McCay’s inventive comic strip from issues of the 1907 New York Herald is a whimsical depiction of a young boy’s dreams, the colorful panels will go from small to huge to produce a delightfully dramatic effect. The ones depicting action at sea make marvelous use of perspective to induce further drama.

Alas, the use of racist stereotypes, while typical for his era, so put me off that they spoiled the art for me.

Little Nemo: 1905-1914 (Evergreen) di Winsor McCay

Every couple years I open this up and try to read it but I just can't get very far. Pictures are nice, but the font is hard to read, and it's not really all that interesting.
