Little Nemo: So 20 years ago

In July of 20 years ago came the fanzines Little Nemo. In an article published in number 8 of the fanzine, published in 2006, retraces a bit 'history. Here is a large excerpt.
was the summer of 1990 when an idea I was buzzing in my head for a long time began to take concrete shape. Months before I came across was "Collecting", a fanzine made in the peninsula. The rivistina was curated by Francesco Manetti among others (one of the most talented Italian critics of the new generation) and by Moreno Burattini, who would later become one of the leading writers of Zagor. Then I said, 'Wow! But I want to do something like that. " I called Efisio Bianco, conosciuto un paio di anni prima, e gli feci “l'insana proposta”: “Facciamo una fanzine e la chiamiamo “Little Nemo!”. Fece appena in tempo a dire di si che eravamo già al lavoro sul primo numero. Nel progetto venne subito coinvolto anche Corrado Zedda (mio vecchio compagno di scuola dai tempi del liceo). Avevamo bisogno di un argomento e di un ospite importante per caratterizzare il nostro primo numero. Pensammo subito in grande. Speciale su Magnus e intervista a Max Bunker. Nonostante alcune persone dell'ambiente sostenessero l'idiosincrasia di Bunker alle interviste, noi preparammo lo stesso le domande e le spedimmo. Nel giro di un paio di settimane il grande “Max” ci diede sue notizie. Avevamo the interview! The August of that year was dedicated to the creation of the first issue. To borrow the computer of my office, with the kind availability of Eng. Farris, my owner, began to write, print and layout with a neutral (as the scarcity of means) copy and paste. As promised, we sent a copy of our work with Max Bunker. What's really at that point, seemed to end there. In April 1991, Efisio called me told me: "Listen, Louise. Something strange is going on. Today I received nine letters from people who require the fanzine. "A flash of lightning lit up my mind. Precisely in those months, Max Bunker Press had published a new monthly magazine called "Bhang". Corsi all'edicola e ne comprai una copia. Nella rubrica delle recensioni di nuovi albi a fumetti, insieme a riviste ben più prestigiose, c'era anche la segnalazione, con tanto di copertina, dell'uscita di Little Nemo.
Adesso, magari, per chi non ha vissuto quegli anni, è difficile rendersi conto delle difficoltà di realizzare una fanzine. Ma per noi, vedere riconosciuto il nostro lavoro e il nostro impegno da una professionista, addirittura con una recensione, era una gioia immensa.
Sulla spinta dell'entusiasmo ci mettemmo al lavoro sul secondo numero. L'obiettivo era quella di portare la fanzine a Lucca Comics di quell'anno. A ottobre il number was ready and we left with Efisio bringing with us about 100 copies. In Lucca, we settled on the steps (the place for fanzinari) of the building that then housed the event and displaying copies of our rivistina. The result was that the next morning we had already sold them all.
On our return to Sardinia but there was a moment of relaxation. Taken from our jobs and personal problems, the fanzine began to occupy an increasingly small space of our thoughts. It was really hard, that putting together the material collected in Lucca (interviews, drawings, etc..) Succeeded, in March 1992 to create the number 3. A special article on the cover wearing Lucca 1991 a beautiful new design for Fabio Civitelli.
The effort was rewarded because in a few months L'Unione Sarda in Little Nemo devoted a lengthy article in the pages of culture.
The opportunity to achieve the number 4 was given to us from the previous year of Nathan Never to which devotes a special issue with color cover with that number of Edwards Bros., released in late 1992 the fanzine reached the height of diffusion. We were guests for two times in a television programs of Sardinia, Henri Filippini, editorial director of Glenat, asked us to send multiple copies of the fanzine. We were able to overcome the cifra di 500 copie vendute per corrispondenza, con alcune richieste provenienti dalla Francia e addirittura dal Giappone! Si rese necessario anche il varo di una fanzine parallela, Chance, dedicata ai disegnatori esordienti.
Dal 1994 al 1998 riuscimmo a pubblicare un numero all'anno, intervistando tra gli altri Stefano Casini, Sergio Bonelli e Roberto De Angelis. Ed ogni uscita era un successo. La media di copie richieste a numero superava abbondantemente il centinaio, con ottime recensioni sulle riviste specializzate.

Why Does My Feet Hurt When Ice Skating

on another.



" We feel lonely for what we have seen
and then to all those who have done so early
to mount up to do some 'your trip
vowing that gave you an arm
speaking style, commitment and values \u200b\u200b
but when you have ceased to be useful for them
were already far away, the language
approached another ass.
and then later another
least apologize the inconvenience. "


My dear Francesco, Ligabue.
