So I got this book for my gf and I was so impressed that I felt I had to share. It's "Little Nemo in Slumberland", a comic strip that ran in the New York Herald in the beginning of the 20th century - and, for me, the best comic I've read so far. The imagination and sensitivity in this book is unrivaled. I was so amazed by the illustrations (which is helped by the fact that the book is so large, it barely fits on a small table) that I've been studying each page frame by frame.

For the curious: [link] (btw the pics there dont do any justice to the actual illustration)
