Synopsis:

“An all-new, all-ages series full of magic and whimsy from award-winning creators Eric Shanower (Adventures in Oz) and Gabriel Rodriguez (Locke & Key)! Spinning out of Winsor McKay’s brilliant early 20th century strip, Little Nemo in Slumberland sees King Morpheus’ daughter, in the Royal Palace of Slumberland, select her next-playmate: Nemo! Only Nemo has no interest in being anyone’s playmate, dream or no dream!”

eric_shanower_oz_lgbt1ERIC JAMES SHANOWER was born in Key West, Florida, on October 23, to James Lowell Shanower and Karen Elizabeth Shanower (nee Hietanen). The family soon moved to Hawaii, where they lived on the islands of Kauai–where Eric’s sister, Elizabeth Edna Shanower, was born–and Oahu. The Shanower family subsequently lived in Monterey, California; Laurel, Maryland; Norfolk, Virginia; Port Angeles, Washington; Guantanamo Bay, Cuba; and Novato, California.
Early in life Eric showed interest in drawing and in creating stories. At six years of age he discovered the series of Oz books by L. Frank Baum (and others) and decided to continue the Oz series with his own books. He began with amateur efforts, producing several illustrated manuscripts during the next decade. After graduation from Novato (California) High School, he attended the Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art in Dover, New Jersey. On the day after graduation, he received his first professional comics assignment, lettering an issue of the comic book Warp, published by First Comics.
