Nemo, the Classic Comics Library was a magazine devoted to the history and creators of vintage comic strips. Created by comics historian Rick Marschall, it was published in the 1980s by Fantagraphics.
Nemo ran for 32 issues (the last being a double issue) plus one annual. Most issues were edited by Marschall. The title was taken from the classic comic strip Little Nemo. While some issues were thematic, most were a mix of articles, interviews, comic strip reprints and more.
Marschall later went on to co-found another magazine about comics, Hogan's Alley.

NOW A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
The job of the skin is to keep it all in...
On the island of Here, livin's easy. Conduct is orderly. Lawns are neat. Citizens are clean shaven-and Dave is the most fastidious of them all. Dave is bald, but for a single hair. He loves drawing, his desk job, and the Bangles. But on one fateful day, his life is upended...by an unstoppable (yet pretty impressive) beard.
The Gigantic Beard That Was Evil is a darkly funny meditation on life, death, and what it means to be different--and a timeless ode to the art of beard maintenance.

Hermes Press proudly unveils the first ever digital release of Buck Rogers in the 25th Century: the complete newspaper Sundays Volume One. Now, for the first time see four complete years in vivid color of the world's greatest sci-fi newspaper strip in one volume beginning with the first Sunday dated, March 30th, 1930. The Sunday strips in this volume present entirely different stories than the daily continuity of the feature so there is no duplication in the story-lines.

Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, the first, best, and original science-fiction newspaper strip, has it all - space ships, anti-gravity belts, space pirates, invaders from other worlds, nefarious villains, and, of course, heroes. Comic strip historian Maurice Horn notes that Buck Rogers in the 25th Century 'introduced most of the staples of science-fiction plotting' to the American public - as well as to everyone else in the world who read it. Beginning in September 2008, Hermes Press will begin a complete reprint of the ground-breaking newspaper strip. Reprinting over 900 strips, 2 years of the daily strip are presented in Volume One, beginning with the first strip dated January 7, 1929. A special 16-page color section contains an essay on the strip by a leading science-fiction author to place the series in historical perspective together with documentary materials and production artwork. See and experience the thrill and awe of the precursor of Star Trek, Star Wars, and every other science-fiction story to come after!

Dream of the Rarebit Fiend was a newspaper comic strip by American cartoonist Winsor McCay which began September 10, 1904. As in McCay's signature strip, Little Nemo, the strip was made up of bizarre dreams. It was McCay's second successful strip, after Little Sammy Sneeze secured him a position on the cartoon staff of the New York Herald. Rarebit Fiend was printed in the Evening Telegram, a newspaper published by the Herald. For contractual reasons, McCay signed the strip with the pen name "Silas".

Little Nemo is the main fictional character in a series of weekly comic strips by Winsor McCay that appeared in the New York Herald newspaper from October 15, 1905 - July 23 and in William Randolph Hearst's New York American newspaper from 1911 - July 26, 1914.
The strip was first called Little Nemo in Slumberland and then In the Land of Wonderful Dreams when it changed papers. A brief revival of the original title occurred from 1924 to 1927.

WE ALL HAVE A BIT OF CRAZINESS IN US THAT ONLY WANTS TO BE SET FREE

A "David and Goliath" story, On The Books is the first-hand account of the labor struggle at NYC's legendary Strand bookstore in the summer of 2012. Told by Greg Farrell, an employee of the store who interviewed numerous other members of the staff, the book examines the motives and actions of those involved, including the store, the staff, the union local, and the people of New York City, as understood by the author. Farrell gives voice to his comrades, who provide a depth of opinion and fairness to accompany Farrell's often very personal interpretation of events. In its ten short chapters the book explores at once the inner workings of our national retail environment, the current state of the book trade, and what happens when that no longer seems possible.

Starring notorious muscle-bound punk/metal dudes Glenn Danzig and Henry Rollins (with a little help from soft rockers Hall and Oates), Henry & Glenn Forever is a love story to end all love stories. Henry and Glenn are very good "friends"; they are also roommates. Daryl and John live next door; they are Satanists. What follows is ultrametal violence and cryfest diary entries, cringing self-doubt and megahilarious emo-meltdowns. Who knew Danzig was such a vulnerable, self-conscious sweetie pie? Who knew Rollins was such a caring spouse? Who knew Hall and Oates were so infernally evil - yet so considerate? As the real-life Henry Rollins says of the work, "Has Glenn seen this? Trust me, he would not be impressed."
