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 between 1983 and 1990 by Fantagraphics. [1]
Nemo ran for 31 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 co-founded another magazine about comics, Hogan's Alley .
During that same period in the 1980s, Fantagraphics launched an imprint, Nemo Bookshelf, the Classic Comics Library. This was a line of classic comic strip reprint books, including Little Orphan Annie , Pogo , Red Barry , Dickie Dare , The Complete E. C. Segar Popeye and Prince Valiant .
