[.ca] Little Nemo in the Palace of Ice and Further Adventures (ISBN 0486232344)

Hmm, but is it new material?:
Well, I haven't actually bought this book. I was trying to figure out whether it was material that was in the complete collection (ISBN 3-8228-6300-9), or an independant graphic novel. My only thought on that is that I recognize the cover art from the aforementioned collection, which might help some of you in deciding.

Good introduction:
This is a good book if you want to get a feel for Little Nemo, but not if you want to have a complete collection of the strips. The artwork is beautiful and the storyline is great, unfortunately, the editor has taken out some parts of the story, so near the end it starts to become kind of clippy, so to speak.

A great first step into a larger world...:
Windsor McCay is one of my favorite artists, and I was exuberent when I found out there was a book collecting some of Nemo's adventures. Although not as comprehensive as the more expensive "Complete" books, The Palace of Ice is a great way to see if you like Little Nemo, or not. And if you do, and own the complete Little Nemo series, I still recomend buying this book.
