Review of
Little Nemo: Return to Slumberland #1,
comic
Five out of five stars
Recurrent dreams similar to “Alice in Wonderland”
This is a
delightful story of a set of recurrent dreams of a young boy called Nemo. He is
selected by the officials of Slumberland to take a series of journeys to that
wonderful and bizarre kingdom. There is magic, quirky characters and
semi-nonsensical dialog.
For example, when
Nemo and his Slumberland escort are walking on a bridge across a river of
flowing chocolate a monster that looks like a dragon in a Chinese parade pops
up. The escort says, “ It’s the triple-tongued Binthromium!”
Readers exposed
to literature will recognize strong hints of the classic works of Lewis Carroll
and L. Frank Baum. The captions are extremely colorful and combined with the
very high quality coloration, remind you of the film “The Wizard of Oz.” It is
a comic for children that adults will love to read to them.
