Largest comic book

Little Nemo

Little Nemo was a comic that appeared in Sunday papers in the 1930. They are undoubtedly the weirdest, trippiest, most peculiar, inventive and dream-like comics ever. Each page is memorable, a complete dream unto itself. They make R. Crumb and the LSD-laced hippy underground comics seem tame. While several books reprint the entire series, this reproduction retains the comic's original scale, which you really need to fully appreciate the eyeball-slapping impact these masterworks have. It's easily the largest book I own. You COULD slice one of these books up and have 30 exquisitely printed two-side posters to give out.

The Newark Museum had a show last year around comic/ comic book art and Nemo had an entire section. To see the back page originals from the turn of the century was breathtaking. Easily the most artistic of all the exhibits, head and shoulders above the pack. Oddly enough, the old Gasoline Alley strips were surprisingly good, even great. Well worth researching further.
