Dreaming City was the name of my hometown comic book store. It was just a tiny converted first floor bedroom above a jewellers but it was my portal into the growing world of “graphic novels”. We were lucky that in our small Cornish town someone had made the effort to create a space where fantastic stories from other places and times could fall into our hands and stimulate our imaginations. As with most good shops, it eventually closed down, and as there doesn’t seem to be any mention of it on the Internet I thought I’d honour it by naming this site after it. I’ll be reading all my favourite comics again, reassessing and reviewing them, and doing a bit of reminiscing along the way. I’m probably going to be the only person aware of this tiny corner of the Internet, but if anyone does stumble upon it and is intrigued enough to seek out one of these stories then I reckon Dreaming City is still open.
