Information About

Little Lit




''Little Lit'' is a Comic Book anthology series published by Pulitzer Prize -winning cartoonist, Art Spiegelman and '' New Yorker '' art editor, Françoise Mouly . The couple had collaborated previously on '' RAW '' in the 1980s.

Each volume of ''Little Lit'' is a collection of original Comics created expressly for children, authored by major cartoonists and literary figures. Contributors include authors such as Paul Auster , Neil Gaiman , and David Sedaris ; cartoonists such as Daniel Clowes , Tony Millionaire , and Chris Ware ; and children's writers such as William Joyce , Barbara McClintock and Lemony Snicket ( Daniel Handler ). Volume one includes a vintage cartoon by Walt Kelly .

The series began publication in 2000 with a 64-page hardcover book, ''Little Lit: Folklore & Fairy Tale Funnies''. This was followed by two subsequent volumes, ''Strange Stories for Strange Kids'', and ''It Was a Dark and Silly Night...'' The third volume deviated slightly from previous versions, reducing the page count to 48 pages.

A smaller-sized paperback book called ''Big Fat Little Lit'' was published in 2006 by Puffin Books . This volume is a 144-page collection of selected comics from the first three HarperCollins books.
