LITTLE NEMO: DREAM ANOTHER DREAM update

this project continues to grow, and we’re tickled pink to announce the latest creators to join in.

CARLA SPEED MCNEIL

what a thrill to have carla join us. her book FINDER is, quite simply, one of the greatest comics of all-time.

there’s a richness and depth to the world she has created that might be unmatched in the history of comics, and she’s populated that world with characters that share that depth & complexity.

FÁBIO MOON AND GABRIEL BÁ

DAYTRIPPER. CASANOVA. UMBRELLA ACADEMY. the brothers have created some of the best books of the last decade with equal parts style and heart. DAYTRIPPER actually put tears in my eyes. we are blessed to have them come on-board.

We’re keeping this list of Nemo names updated with most of the contributors we have publicly announced – so check it out if you’re wondering who else has signed up! And our first revealed pages from the book can be found here.

Topless Robot’s 15 Nerdy Stops in Philly

Check out the Topless Robot Road Trips: The 15 Nerdiest Places in Philadelphia. Among other sweet, offbeat things places worth visiting, they’ve got some words for the Locust Moon Comics Festival, which clocks in at #3 on the countdown:

If you happen to be in Philly on October 5th, you definitely need to check out the Locust Moon Comics Festival. An offshoot of the popular comic store/gallery space in University City, this fest–now in its second year–brings together local artists and national industry figures for an event that offers a much-needed alternative to huge cons. The owners of the shop are the men responsible for last year’s amazing Once Upon a Time Machine compilation from Dark Horse, and they have used their cred to lineup an array of guests that includes Farel Dalrymple, Michael Kupperman and Jay Lynch as well as Philly comic staples like Jeffro Kilpatrick and Box Brown. This event is about creativity, not commerce, and it is the perfect example of how welcoming Philly’s comic scene is to all.

Winsor Wednesdays

Some beautiful McCay illustrations & book design from a little-known Hearst-published propaganda book. 1929.

The full, glorious wrap-around cover.

McCay was working in his standard Herald editorial-illustration style, which leads me to assume this book was authored by Arthur Brisbane.The book also features cartoonier illustrations from Hearst cartoonist and friend of McCay, F. Opper.
