The Dreamer

Lora Innes wrote and illustrated this six-issue IDW series, a historical time-travel romance that follows a modern-day teenager who begins dreaming of the American Revolution—and finds herself living a double life in 1776. The series grounds its fantastical premise in meticulous period detail, exploring the tension between the dreamer’s contemporary identity and her growing attachments to the people of the past. Innes’s lush, character-driven artwork and sensitive storytelling make The Dreamer a distinctive blend of historical fiction and romantic drama.
