The four-volume Paradox Fiction title BROOKLYN DREAMS returns in a single 384-page softcover, bringing the story of 17-year-old Vincent Carl Santini's momentous senior year in high school back to life. Springing from the minds of writer J.M. DeMatteis (THE SPECTRE, Amazing Spider-Man) and artist Glenn Barr (REAL WORLDS: JUSTICE LEAGUE), the 384-page BROOKLYN DREAMS is a memoir and a meditation, a tale of growing up and an exploration of mortality. It was originally published in 1995 as part of DC's Paradox Press line, as were ROAD TO PERDITION and A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE. "No project I've worked on in my twenty-plus years in the business means more to me than BROOKLYN DREAMS," says DeMatteis. "I am absolutely delighted - and that's a huge understatement - that it's finally being collected together in one volume." Mixing the wry and the heartfelt, DeMatteis' narrative is perfectly complemented by Barr's expressive renderings - ranging from the somber to the ultra-cartoonish - as an older and (presumably) wiser Santini looks back on his childhood and adolescence in his native Brooklyn and how they led to the life-changing revelations of his senior year. Like ROAD TO PERDITION, BROOKLYN DREAMS is a visionary work, engaging to a wide variety of readers and creatively ahead of its time. BROOKLYN DREAMS is a 384-page Paradox Press trade paperback and is suggested for mature readers.
