    New York Times bestselling author Kevin Baker (Dreamland) writes his first original graphic novel, with internationally acclaimed artist Danijel Zezelj. Alik Strelnikov lives in the shadow of Coney Island, a world of silenced rides and rusting amusement parks that mock his dreams of becoming a hero. Ten years ago, he traded a brutal existence in the Russian army for the promise of America only to become an enforcer in the Brooklyn mob. Now, he chases his ghosts with all he has left: booze, heroin and his lover, Marina, part-time prostitute and full-time fortune teller. The only way the two of them can escape their miserable fates hinges on a desperate plan that will put them between warring mobs and span a century, from contemporary Coney Island to the Russia of the Second Chechen War to spellbinding 1910s New York. Mixing historical novel, immigrant fiction and crime thriller, LUNA PARK marks Kevin Baker's return to Coney Island, the setting of his critically beloved Dreamland and features breathtaking art by Danijel Zezelj (LOVELESS) with to-die-for colors by Dave Stewart (DC: THE NEW FRONTIER).

    The Dreamland of Kevin Baker 0

    Luna Park was a wonderful read.  There are some aspects that I am sure an American will appreciate over the rest of the world because there is some things rooted into this book that is part of American history.  Such as the real location of Luna Park was in Coney Island New York and it seems to be a "dreamland" writer Kevin Baker seems to like to revisit.  Kevin Baker is the author of the novel "Deamland" and Luna Park is his debut in comics and I have to say I am impressed.   Luna Park was an ...
