Read more and comment...	It's here! The follow-up volume to the most heralded collection of classic comics ever produced. This volume is even more packed with art and features than the first volume, the printing is every bit as gorgeous, and the binding has been improved. In the face of this Sunday Press edition, it's a challenge to find an adequate superlative! We're working on it...

Read more and comment...	edited by Ivan Brunetti It's too early to say for certain, but this follow-up to Brunetti's already classic 2006 anthology, also published by Yale University Press, might just be even better than its precursor. One thing's for certain: Brunetti has held onto -- and further refined -- his editorial vision of arranging the work contained in this volume in an organic sequence, deftly managing to map out the similarities between artists so that each piece flows smoothly into into the other, creating an amazing sense of an innate connectivity between all areas of comics here on display. This book is a powerful ally in the struggle to bring the light of comics to those poor souls still dwelling in the darkness. It's the perfect choice to turn on a friend or relative to the joy, beauty and pleasures of our favorite medium. Hold onto your hats, here's the contributor list: Daniel Clowes, Saul Steinberg, Sammy Harkham, Chris Ware, R.

It's simply amazing. Comics Power! PLEASE NOTE: We feel compelled to mention that this volume includes several pieces that contain quite explicit sexual content; and while this content represents only a miniscule fraction of the total, it nevertheless renders this volume fit for ADULTS ONLY.

Read more and comment...	Edited and with an introduction by Bill BlackbeardWait, there's still more! Yes, it's back at last, the super value-priced Evergreen edition of Little Nemo that contains the entire run of Winsor McCay's crowning achievement. While nothing beats the experience of reading these in their magnificent full-size glory, this book still has a lot going for it. Namely, it contains the entire run of Little Nemo in Slumberland, including the final two years of the strip after McCay had been hired by Hearst and it had been retitled "In the Land of Wonderful Dreams." ALL 420 full-page strips appear here in glorious full color, except for the last 15 strips executed for The New York Herald, which are printed in duotone, as they originally appeared. This book is amazing value.

Read more and comment...	Yet another LIttle Nemo book! The highlight of this particular 294 page, full color, oversize hardcover volume is the prelude featuring the clearly (looking back from today's point of view) unfortunate, yet -- presuming that it is viewed from the proper perspective -- instructive adventures of the Jungle Imps in which skewed versions of traditional African legends are given the Winsor McCay treatment. Obviously, McCay, a product of a Victorian upbringing, is ill-equipped to properly perceive this material, yet it is in precisely this nexus point -- of the collision of white Victorian culture and black African culture -- that much of modern American culture was born. The comics apotheosis of this fertile union is found in the work of George Herriman, and McCay's 1903 strip (which ran, we believe, only in Cincinnati) is clearly a wrong-headed failure, but it remains a valuable document of the sunset of 19th century perspectives. As for Little Nemo, what more can be said? It's the single most spectacular work in the history of comics, and certainly among the most influential. We offer several alternatives to this volume, all of which have their merits. It's up to you to decide which one is the best fit for you. It's best if you come in and compare. If you have yet to take the plunge, this volume has several things going for it, not the least of which is that, when taken together with the forthcoming second volume, it purports to be the most complete collection of Little Nemo ever published. We'll let you know our opinion of that claiom as soon as we get our hands on volume two.
