Little Ego

A sly, sophisticated homage to Winsor McCay’s Little Nemo in Slumberland, Vittorio Giardino’s Little Ego reimagines the classic dreamscape through a decidedly adult, erotic lens. Published by Glénat beginning in 1989, this single-issue comic follows its voluptuous heroine on surreal, sensuous adventures that blend elegant ligne claire art with playful, risqué humor. Giardino’s meticulous draftsmanship and witty storytelling elevate the material beyond mere parody, making it a distinctive and enduring cult artifact of European adult comics.
