As we reported in July, West Philadelphia retailer turned indie publisher Locust Moon is putting together an impressive-sounding (and -looking) anthology called Little Nemo: Dream Another Dream that pays tribute to Winsor McCay's pioneering comic strip. The talent roster includes such names as John Cassaday, Bill Sienkiewicz, Paul Pope, Becky Cloonan, Mark Buckingham and David Petersen -- and it's the Mouse Guard creator who brings us to this post.

Locust Moon has debuted Petersen's contribution to the book, a strip that -- fittingly enough -- features helpful mice ("royal field mice," we're told), an aggravated goose and a gramophone-carrying locust. As you can see, it's beautiful.
