The Dreamer

The Dreamer tells the story of a young man who dreams of working in the world of comic books in the 1930s. Along the way he meets those who share his dream, and those who have dreams of their own. This roman à clef captures the drama and excitement of life in New York's comic book studios at the moment when comics' founding fathers were giving birth to a new artistic medium. The author calls it "a kind of graphic historical novel set in the primordial dawn of the comic book industry." It is a powerful human story that will confirm the aspirations of the dreamer in us all.
