Little Nemo: Return to Slumberland![](https://www.silversnail.com/cdn/shop/products/STK667158_2048x.jpg?v=1542779618) This loving homage to Winsor McCay's Nemo won the 2015 Eisner for Best Limited Series. Written by Eric Shanower and illustrated by Gabriel Rodriguez, it tells the story of what happened in the years after McCay's strip finished. Similar in tone to Shanower's OZ work, it's an all-ages delight that any comics enthusiast can enjoy. I would have preferred Shanower to illustrate it himself, however my appreciation for Rodriquez' work grew in leaps and bounds as the series progressed. The background work was exquisite and the design work outstanding. Filling McCay's shoes is an impossible task, but where Shanower and Rodriguez excelled was in crafting new adventures that were full of respect and reverence for the original source material. If, indeed, they managed to introduce new, younger readers to the world of Nemo then the book was a resounding success.
