This month, First Second is releasing Nursery Rhyme Comics, a hardcover featuring 50 classic nursery rhymes illustrated by 50 amazing artists. It's a great collection for kids, but as fans of indie comics, we here at ComicsAlliance were pretty excited to see some of our favorite creators involved in what turned out to be some pretty fun illustrations.

That's why today, we've picked out a few of our favorites to run right here at ComicsAlliance! Check out nursery rhyme comics by Kate Beaton, Jaime Hernandez, Lucy Knisley and Mike Mignola after the cut!
