Plot Summary
The Dreamer is a roman à clef of Eisner's time in the comic book industry of the 1930s. A fascinating, first-hand account of what it was like to work for the early assembly-line comic book publishers, this graphic novel also contains some fun, thinly disguised appearances by industry legends such as Jack Kirby (co-creator of The Fantastic Four, The X-Men, and Captain America among others) and Bob Kane (the co-creator of Batman).
