Press Release

Many years ago, somewhere around the early 1990s, DC Comics launched a non-superhero, non-science fiction, and non-fantasy imprint called Paradox Press, which produced such popular titles as Road to Perdition and A History of Violence, both of which were eventually adapted into Hollywood movies. And while not all titles from Paradox Press experienced the mainstream success as the aforementioned books, the imprint -brilliantly run by editor Andy Helfer and others- produced an incredible amount of smart, entertaining stories, before DC decided to shut down the imprint because of...oh, who knows why big powerful publishers do what they do.
