Will work some more on this later. Will also add Winsor McCay article.
Also, I heard that Little Nemo is now outside copyright. Is true? and if so, how can i get pictures onto this page? McCay's artwork is amazing! - Asa
I replied to this before but for some unknown reason my comment never appeared. Anyway, I totally agree about Winsor McCay--I'm a huge fan. Looking forward to the article. I'm sure you could find out about whether it's public domain by a Google search. --LMS
Thanks for everyone's additions! LMS: yea Nemo is amazing. I love it, so maybe someone else needs to change some of the wording in the article to make it more neutral!
Added bit about Nemo reaching slumberland. I could probably wirte more about the later development of the strip, including the reasons McCay changed papers ("In Slumberland" seems to have been striped of its colour pallette a few months before it's move), but i first need to finish the giant volume im reading ATM. It contains all the Nemo strips from the begining up till 1914 - it's amazing (a bargin at £20 too!)!! - Asa
Nowadays, for a work to be PD on the Internet, it may have to be PD in all WIPO member states that participate in the Distribution of a work, that is, all countries in which a device routes the packets that transmit the work. I'm not a lawyer, but that's how I interpret the WIPO Copyright Treaty.
It's PD in the USA (under the Sonny Bono law whose cutoff date is 1923) but still under copyright in the European Union, where copyright term extensions tend to restore copyright to public domain works. Given that the last surviving author died in 1934, the strips fall into PD at the end of 1934 + 70 = 2004. --Damian Yerrick

[edit] 1992 feature film also released in US
The 1992 feature film was also released in the US in english (I have a copy) -Will Saxe
[edit] McCays's birthdate
There's a mistake in the author's birth of date. He wasn't born in 1887, as the article says, but in 1867, 1869 or 1871 (the real date isn't certain). He wasn't 18 when he created Little Nemo. Please change this date.
The limited-edition Little Nemo in Slumberland has recently been reproduced in full size and original color, and is available at Sunday Press Books. I hope I’m adding to this discussion correctly, as I’m new on Wikipedia. This is not meant as advertisement, merely something Nemo fans might enjoy. --Baughberick
The Sunday Press volume is orgasmic! I got it for Christmas and even though it's all stuff I've seen before, it's full of delight. I can actually read the text now without squinting!
Added the Nostalgia Press volume that introduced me to Nemo. Also wasn't there a two-volume set from Fantagraphics that covered the entirety of the "Slumberland" and "Wonderful Dreams" run? I would provide details from my library, but my copies fell victim to Hurricane Katrina. And my net search skills are weak tonight. --Peggy
I included info on all the Fantagraphics volumes. I never got all of them. There were actually 4-6 volumes, not 2. ALSO, look for the Taschen/Evergreen collection. I stumpled upon a copy at my local Borders. It has all of the comics in original color (leaving out only the 1920s revival of the strip). I took a look at the price and was shocked it was only $20!! I immediately snapped it up! ---Emb021 8-9-2006
[edit] Cleanup
This article is not clear, completely confusing, bad structure, bad images. See the french article in comparison, and see commons images about Little Nemo. CB001 02:11, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] popularity
In the introduction to the Taschen-collection of Little Nemo, Bill Blackbeard writes about the popularity of the comic strip among American kids: "They wanted none of it". So why does film historian Charles Musser, on Kino's dvd-box 'The Movies Begin', mention that it was "immensely popular"? Why was there an operetta based on the comic, made by the famous Victor Herbert? Why was an animated film released in 1911? Why were thousands of children welcoming Nemo during his 1911 tour of America (in the comic)? Mwvandersteen 11:35, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Movie (Dream One/Nemo) reference
This movie doesn't appear to have any connection to the comic other than a vague passing reference. The cast as listed on IMDB include none of the characters most central to the comic (Dr Pill, Flip, or the Princess).
