LITTLE NEMO: DREAM ANOTHER DREAM was made possible by our 1,087 supporters who together raised over $150,000 on Kickstarter.

Winsor McCay was perhaps the greatest cartoonist of all time, and the Sunday newspaper strip Little Nemo in Slumberland is his most enduring creation. Detailing the adventures of its titular character in The Land of Wonderful Dreams, the early twentieth century opus is one of the most inventive and visually stunning works of American art. A century later, the comic medium is still racing to keep up with the richness, draftsmanship, imagination, and wonder of McCay’s fantastic storytelling and wild Slumberland universe.

In Locust Moon Press’ anthology LITTLE NEMO: DREAM ANOTHER DREAM, many of the world’s finest cartoonists pay tribute to the master and his masterpiece by creating 118 new Little Nemo strips, following their own voices down paths lit by McCay. Contributors include Paul Pope, J.H. Williams III, Bill Sienkiewicz, David Mack, Carla Speed McNeil, Charles Vess, Peter Bagge, Dean Haspiel, Farel Dalrymple, Marc Hempel, Nate Powell, P. Craig Russell, Jeremy Bastian, Jim Rugg, Ron Wimberly, Scott Morse, David Petersen, J.G. Jones, Mike Allred, Dean Motter, Yuko Shimizu, Roger Langridge, Craig Thompson, and Mark Buckingham, among many others.

Released in the fall of 2014 as a 144-page hardcover (designed by Jim Rugg) at the full size of the original Little Nemo broadsheet pages (16″ x 21″), this book celebrates McCay’s endless legacy, charts his influence on generations of modern cartoonists, and most of all shines a light back on an artist who has given his art form so much, and whose work should be more widely known.

This is a love song for Winsor McCay, Little Nemo, and the limitless possibilities of comics.

More than just a book, this is a treasure—the stuff that dreams are made of.

LITTLE NEMO: DREAM ANOTHER DREAM might just be the best anthology to come out in years.

All of the contributors bring their own distinctive vibe and style to McCay, resulting in more than simple pastiche and conveying how indebted modern comics still are to his wondrous, magnificent imagination.

A.V. Club – Little Nemo, Rav, and Tooth & Claw lead a roundup of great new comics

LITTLE NEMO: DREAM ANOTHER DREAM is an anthology about the infinite potential of the comic-book medium, an inspiring work that shows what can be done with a few pages and a lot of creativity. It’s a true triumph and a wonderful tribute to McCay’s legacy, establishing Locust Moon Press as a major new force in the comics industry.

The New York Times Sunday Book Review – Adventures in Slumberland

The stylistic breadth of the book’s contributors — mainstream comics stars, old-school underground artists, young experimentalists — suggests how deeply McCay’s vision embedded itself in the entire medium.

Spudd 64 / Matt Kish – Little Nemo: Dream Another Dream from Locust Moon Comics

With LITTLE NEMO: DREAM ANOTHER DREAM there is an almost impossible richness and splendor to the artist’s offerings and, as happens so very rarely, the whole of this book is actually greater than the sum of its parts. Every one of the artists responds to the powerful legacy of Little Nemo in wildly different, deeply personal, and utterly unique ways and every strip is a treasure.

And while the stories run the gamut from the surreal to the terrifying to the fantastic to the bleak to the poignant, the art and the techniques employed by each artist follow suit. The sheer variety of the imagery on display is so breathtaking that looking through this book feels, quite literally, like a cherished dream finally come true…

…this is a rare book, the perfect synthesis of loving adoration, sincere tribute, and brilliantly original creativity.

Panel Patter – Panel Patter’s September Small Press Previews Picks

DREAM ANOTHER DREAM looks to be a loving tribute from dozens of talented artists to Winsor McCay’s classic strip. I am very excited to see how these creators interpret McCay’s world, and the oversized nature of the book (designed to be the same size as the original Sunday newspaper pages) along with the sheer quality of the previews I’ve seen look to make the rather high price point totally worth it. I cannot wait to read this book.

Publishers Weekly – Baltimore Comic Con Grows But Stays Friendly

Perhaps the book of the show was the lone copy of LITTLE NEMO: DREAM ANOTHER DREAM…The crowdfunded book is in the vein of Peter Maresca’s oversized comic strip collections, and features a giddy array of variant visions by contemporary illustrators and cartoonists for Winsor McCay’s fanciful dreamer. The final effort is breathtaking.
