☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection gathers a selection of stories from the acclaimed 'Little Lit' series, offering a mix of original comics and illustrations for young readers. Featuring contributions from a range of notable cartoonists and authors, the volume presents playful, imaginative tales in a variety of artistic styles. It serves as a standalone anthology that highlights the creative breadth of the series' approach to children's comics.
In "The Hungry Horse," David Mazzucchelli crafts a quiet, poignant tale of time and longing, where a young fisherman’s act of kindness leads him to the underwater realm of the Sea King. Drawn by Mazzucchelli in his signature meticulous style, the story follows the fisherman’s bittersweet journey as he falls in love with the king’s daughter and returns to the surface only to discover that three centuries have passed. Art Spiegelman’s haunting cover captures the tale’s dreamlike melancholy, perfectly framing a story where every choice carries the weight of eternity.
In "The Fisherman and the Sea Princess," a young fisherman’s kindness to a turtle sets off a journey beyond the waves, leading him to the court of the Sea King. There, he finds himself drawn to the Sea Princess, and though he stays for three years, he eventually longs to return to the world he knew—only to discover that three centuries have passed in his absence.
