An overview of the original comic strip and an appreciation of its creator, Winsor McCay, by Art Spiegelman and Françoise Mouly precede a collection of new adventures illustrated by a variety of acclaimed comics artists. Some are reverent, some absurd; all are lovingly produced. The volume explains McCay's and Nemo's importance in the development of graphic narratives, but its appeal to middle- and high-school readers will be limited.
