Les éditeurs du Corriere dei Piccoli (CdP), un magazine italien de bandes dessinées pour enfants lancé en décembre 1908, ont suivi le New York Herald dans toutes ses démarches. En envisageant la création d'un supplément pour enfants, le plus grand journal italien a compris l'attrait et le potentiel économique des Sunday pages et a fait découvrir à ses lecteurs divers personnages de séries américaines. Un de ces personnages récurrents, Little Nemo de Winsor McCay, a été reformaté dans CdP en 1913, mettant le graphiste à rude épreuve. Cette domestication du format américain est une conséquence des idées pédagogiques et des intentions moralisatrices du magazine bourgeois, ainsi que du style et des préférences de lecture italiens liées au lectorat. Pourtant, Little Nemo a aussi inspiré les auteurs autochtones à créer leurs propres versions du récit sériel de McCay. J’étudie ici les actualisations de la figure sérielle par trois dessinateurs italiens de BD, dévoilant les nombreuses incarnations moralistes et propagandistes de Little Nemo. Bien que fortement reformaté, l'héritage de Little Nemo dans CdP est allé plus loin que toute autre Sunday page.
