Greetings from the land of dreams, Martians! Gaze in awe at these awesome full-color Little Nemo in Slumberland strips from 1909. That’s right: 1909. Dude, that was a long time ago. Before women had voting rights in the USA. Before men walked on the moon. Heck, people hadn’t even adjusted to having cars, planes, and radios! But the imagination of artist Winsor McCay brought many people all the flights and trips they needed.

Little Nemo has been collected a few times. I like the “So Many Splendid Sundays” Vol. 1 & 2 because they are printed on large pages like the originals. But if you are looking for a complete collection, you want either the six-volume set published by Fantagraphics, or the two-volume collections by Checker published in both hardcover and digital format.
