Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Little Ego is a wonderful piece of European erotica that adopts the comics storytelling convention of Winsor McCay's Little Nemo in Slumberland. The innocent protagonist, a lovely woman named Ego, has various sexual and increasingly interconnected dreams, all ending in wakeful surprise and a commitment to explain it to her therapist. The women are gorgeous, the backgrounds are lushly illustrated, but my favorite part is the excellent use of page layout--anyone wishing to perfect their storytelling should rush to get this book that Kim Thompson describes as that which "like a bowl of fresh strawberries, leaves a sweet taste."

5.0 out of 5 stars Little Ego - beautiful, erotic, and also funny!, April 20, 2000

This review is from: Little Ego (Paperback)

If you are a fan of the fantasy magazine, Heavy Metal, you have probably seen excerpts of Little Ego, a Freudian play on Little Nemo. Of course, instead of a little boy having adventures in dreamland, we meet Ego, a beautiful young woman who has her own erotic adventures before waking every morning in her own bed.

This graphic novel is definitely just for adults, but it is beautifully drawn and thoroughly enjoyable; I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wet Dreams of a Rarebit Fiend, June 13, 2006

By 

Thelonious "music, philosophy and math" (West Coast, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Little Ego (Paperback)

This charming and delightfully erotic book succeeds as both a parody of and tribute to Winsor McCay as well as being a quite effective piece of erotica.

Ever the champion of Winsor McCay's more adult strip "Dreams of The Rarebit Fiend" (the Dover collection is excellent) I feel compelled to point out that despite the title, much of this book is more directly influenced by Rarebit than by Little Nemo - most of the shorter episodes at the beginning are based on very specific Rarebit strips (all in the Dover collection).

Also, though I could be wrong, is it not the artist's intention that Little Ego is awakened in the final panel of each strip by achieving orgasm? That's my impression.

This review is from: Little Ego (Paperback)

The story of "CLICK" has already been done as a movie,i wish they would do the same with this book.I thoroughly enjoyed Ego's dreamy adventures her wild imagination gets her in a lot of "sexy situations". I especially like what she did with the umbrella,and the alligator in her bathtub.What i am talking about you say? read the the book and find out!Any fan of the movies:Emanuelle,Candy,or Honey will love this book.
