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. Little Nemo in Slumberland was first published in The New York Herald from 1905 to 1911, followed by a run in the New York American-Examiner (retitled “In the Land of Wonderful Dreams” because of copyright issues) in the 1911-1914. It returned to The New York Herald (with its original title) from 1924 to 1927, McCay assigned to other strip work during World War One, noted in the collection’s fascinating accompanying study of McCay’s life and work, Winsor McCay: A Life of Imaginative Genius. (later on in the listing) McCay was a founding figure in the modern US 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. There have been many attempts to publish Winsor McCay’s masterpiece, Little Nemo in Slumberland – but in terms of completeness, none before have been as impressive or as beautifully put together as this new giant HC published by Taschen. Winsor McCay: The Complete Little Nemo 1905–1927 collects in one edition, in full color, ALL 549 EPISODES of the American run of Little Nemo, presented in a extra large format to show the strips as they first appeared, at broadsheet size. The dark, mind-bending nature of the Alice in Wonderland-type story of the strip aside for a moment, the source material is impressive - especially when you consider how little original McCay art exists and when it is offered for sale, it fetches premium prices. (Earlier this year, a page from Little Nemo in Slumberland published in August 1907 sold at auction for €50,000 at Sothebys in a bande dessine auction, and a page from one of his other, earlier strips, Jungle Imps, is (or was at one time) being offered for $38,500 on eBay. As for the the strips themselves, telling the bizarre tale of a young boy in The Land of Wonderful Dreams… well, it’s hard not to be aware of the fact that when you read these tales, many comic creators regard McCay as perhaps the greatest cartoonist of all time, and this Sunday newspaper strip as his most enduring creation. While Nemo is awoken from often disturbing slumber as the result, his parents and relatives reveal, of eating the wrong thing too close to bedtime, his dreams perhaps half-remembered, his unfolding story is surely a hard one to forget for his readers, and one can only wonder what the original readers, caught up in the tale, made of his many and strange adventures. While plotting and dialogue are not McCay’s strongest points, leaving some admirers cold (and also noting the strip’s contemporary prejudices, not at all assuaged by the story being set in a dreamland), the Art Noveau-influenced strip and McCay’s stunning draughtsmanship and inventive page design are the elements for which Little Nemo is best remembered and for what, rightfully, this glorious collection should be admired. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ IN FULL DISCLOSURE, it’s been noted that one strip is missing from this collection but this doesn’t detract from this being the complete US run of the strip. In an Amazon review, Diego Cordoba notes that for some reason, the strip published on 7th January 1906 strip was done twice, with one version appeared in US newspapers, and another with the exact same date, but with different art, appearing in the European version of the New York Herald published in Paris, France (the predecessor of today’s International Herald-Tribune). Just so you know... THE ORIGINAL publication by Taschen first appeared back in 2014 and immediately solde out. It was eventually split up into two volumes later on in the decade: 1905-1909 and 1910 to 1927, it had not been republished in the original form until now. If you’re looking for the full Little Nemo in one volume, this BRAND NEW Taschen collection is ideal. It’s a deserving testament to McCay’s work that a publisher has published this amazing edition.

For over a decade, I have sold tens of thousands of items on eBay and have only received a handful of complaints about the accuracy in my descriptions. Having met eBay standards for excellence in trading, you may bid with confidence knowing you will get what you THINK you are bidding on! Please check my feedback. It is a record I am very proud of...

Please do not ask to have it sent to an alternate location as I won't be able to comply per eBay policy. See below.. Why Are My Shipping & Handling Costs a Bit Higher than Other Sellers? Please Read on... GUARANTEED DELIVERY OR YOUR MONEY BACK! I really DO CARE about when and how your product gets to you. Because the post office is so incredibly inept, I ONLY SHIP domestic packages INSURED, which is AUTOMATICALLY INCLUDED in the shipping cost, and that is not free as the post office charges for it. If your parcel gets lost OR damaged in freight, your item will be replaced if one is available OR you will be completely refunded! IMPORTANT MONEY SAVING TIP! If you are buying more than one of my items and would like to SAVE MONEY by COMBINING SHIPPING costs, I will be happy to do so, but eBay has now made it more difficult to get discounts by confusing people with "Buy it Now" and "Add to Cart" options on non-auction style pages. If you are buying one item from a seller use the Buy it Now. BUT IF YOU WANT COMBINED or FREE SHIPPING, DO NOT USE THE BUY IT NOW button! Instead, select ADD TO CART. Then use your BACK button on your browser and select the other items you want that qualify using ADD TO CART each time. When you are finished, look for the shopping cart icon at the top right corner of your eBay page and click on it. Find the blue button which reads COMMIT TO BUY & SEND REQUEST. Once done, the items will be held and I will create a single invoice with either combined or free shipping. NOTE: I cannot retroactively go back and combine items that are not purchased in this manner so PLEASE PAY ATTENTION. Once you receive your invoice, payment is expected promptly! All of the payment info you need will be listed including multiple shipment options. Some states will require sales tax to be collected. Ebay will collect such as required. I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THIS! PAYMENT OPTIONS:I accept Credit Cards, eChecks and electronic transfers with .Unfortunately, direct bank transfers are not offered due to cost and security concerns.As I reside in the USA, all payments must be made in US Dollars & Cents. SHIPPING ADDRESSES: IMPORTANT!! I can ONLY SHIP to the address as noted in PAYPAL'S "TRANSACTION DETAILS". If you want it shipped to an alternate location, you will need to register that address BEFORE paying or it will be shipped to the registered address. SHIPPING COSTS: Shipping costs will be determined by weight & destination! You may click on the SHIPPING & PAYMENT tab found at the top of the page, just under the item's picture for all shipping options to all destinations both domestic and international. There you will find drop down boxes for your location and you can then use the shipping calculator to determine the correct cost for where you live. REALLY, REALLY IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT SHIPPING TIMES: Media Mail (once known as 4th class mail) is a special class of postage for books, music, videos and other printed media available within the US and territories. It is far less expensive than Priority Mail, but - it ..... is ........... slooowwwww!!!! Despite USPS claims of 3-9 day delivery times, MEDIA MAIL CAN actually TAKE UP TO 3 WEEKS to arrive, and their tracking info is frequently not updated until it actually arrives, making that feature pretty useless! PLEASE remember this when you leave feedback scores as the choice is yours and not my fault if it takes a long time to get there! If you want it in a week or less, you are going to have to bite the bullet and pay for Priority Mail which will get it there in 2-3 working days, 99% of the time, but it is more expensive. Basically, the choice is yours, but if you choose media mail, please don't write to me in 5 days asking where your package is, because the post office will have it and most of the time, they don't have a clue! International deliveries usually arrive within 1-2 weeks but CAN take up to a month! Faster shipping is available on request, but expensive.Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. You can check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying. Finally, we do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts"; it is illegal and immoral. Questions? Ask and I'll try to answer...
