Locust Moon Comics in Philadelphia has been putting together ran all-star anthology celebrating Winsor McCay’s LIttle Nemo with contemporary artists going nuts artistically. The above strip by David “Mouse Guard” Petersen is but one example of many jaw-droppers. The Kickstarter for the book launched Monday and has already been funded, but you will probably want a copy of it, anyway. Here some more art just to add to the persuasion.
YOu can read more about the project at the Locust Moon blog.

This looks pretty cool, and $25 for a hardcover book is reasonable these days. But can the publishers tell us how many pages will be in the book, and what size the book is? Is it the complete run of Eisner’s work, or is there a volume 2 coming?

And thanks Heidi for this piece!
