Locust Moon Press’s Little Nemo: Dream Another Dream is a kickstarted tribute to Winsor McKay’s seminal Jazz Age comic strip, with contributions from Peter Bagge, Paul Pope, Charles Vess, Carla Speed McNeil, Bill Sienkiewicz and many others.
The book sells for about $125, and has 100 tributes in all. I saw and held a copy at last year’s New York Comic Con and I was absolutely blown away. It’s a large-format book in the style of the 21″ x 16″ gigantic Sunday Press collections, which are, unquestionably, the coolest book-as-artifacts I own. It’s since won two Eisner Awards and is nominated for two Harvey Awards.
Locust Moon Press has spent the last two years assembling the LITTLE NEMO: DREAM ANOTHER DREAM anthology, in which many of the world’s finest cartoonists will pay tribute to the master and his masterpiece by creating new Little Nemo strips, following their own voices down paths lit by McCay. Taking on the same giant, broadsheet newspaper-sized canvas as McCay, artists such as Michael Allred, Paul Pope, Yuko Shimizu, J.H. Williams III, Charles Vess, David Mack, J.G. Jones, Craig Thompson, Paolo Rivera, Carla Speed McNeil, Bill Sienkiewicz, P. Craig Russell, Ronald Wimberly, Denis Kitchen, Jill Thompson, Stephen R. Bissette, Gabriel Bá & Fábio Moon, Farel Dalrymple, John Cassaday, Cliff Chiang, and over a hundred more have all done some of the very best work of their illustrious careers.
