MAIN STORY
The series premiered in 1905. Stopped in 1926.

The main character Nemo (Latin for Nobody) is a little boy who dreams special dreams where he always acts as an observer. Some of the dreams are epic and grandiose, while others are dark and threatening. The overall setting is often in a surreal art nouveau style sometimes resembling early flower-power backgrounds, where Nemo meets all sorts of strange and exaggerated beings such as monkeys, cannibals and mushrooms.
All stories end with a panel showing Nemo waking up in his bed, sometimes on the floor.

The full title of the series is Little Nemo in Slumberland. Later, it changed title to In the Land of Wonderful Dreams.
