\"\"<\/a>[ENGLISH] IDW tells us:<\/strong> San Diego, CA\u2014Lora Innes\u2019s webcomic, The Dreamer, transported the reader back to our nation\u2019s rocky conception at the beginning of the American Revolution, and now the award-winning series will be released as printed comic books for the first time.The Dreamer will be released as a six-issue miniseries starting this month. Issue #1 reaches comics retailers on November 12th. Each issue will include Lora Innes\u2019s original cover art, as well as new covers painted by Jenny Frison. The Dreamer is equal parts 18th-century adventure and 21st-century teenage slice-of-life tale. It is the story of 17-year-old Beatrice Whaley, a wealthy high school senior who lives in Boston and aspires to a career on Broadway. But her plans for her future are rudely interrupted by the past when she awakes from a vivid and unforgettable dream about a soldier in a redcoat. As the dreams continue, always starting where the last one ended, she attempts to keep the two worlds separate until they begin to overlap. She has no choice but to become involved and finds herself fighting for her life next to Knowlton\u2019s Rangers in the largest battle of 1776. The Dreamer tells a story of the American Revolution with acclaimed historical accuracy through the eyes of Knowlton\u2019s Rangers, a group of ordinary men turned citizen soldiers–farmers, school teachers and young boys–and reminds us that the fate of America was anything but certain.<\/p>\n

Launched as a webcomic in the summer of 2007, The Dreamer very quickly gained a huge cult following online. It debuted in the top 50 of Top Web Comics, soared upward and has held a healthy spot on the listing for a year. Just five months after it began its weekly update schedule, The Dreamer was nominated in the Web Cartoonists\u2019 Choice Awards as the \u201cOutstanding Newcomer Comic\u201d of 2008. Later that same year, it won three awards at the Drunk Duck Awards, the largest community of online comics on the web: \u201cBest Adventure Story,\u201d \u201cBest Digital Art\u201d and \u201cBest Romance,\u201d and was nominated in three other categories. The Dreamer has quickly gained a reputation amongst readers and creators as one of the highest quality webcomics in terms of both artwork and story\u2014an opinion reflected by IDW Publishing in their decision to collect and publish The Dreamer.<\/p>\n

The Dreamer counts among its diverse readership teachers, historical re-enactors, high school and college girls and more. \u201cThe web has made comics accessible to entirely new demographics of people who never would have dreamed of buying comic books before they added that first webcomic to their morning RSS feed,\u201d says creator Lora Innes, \u201cSo if these people can find great, compelling stories that capture their heart on the web, I can\u2019t help but believe that their attitude toward print comics won\u2019t be changed. I see the webcomics experiment bringing in a whole new readership to print comics, and frankly, I\u2019m excited to be a part of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Dreamer #1 (Diamond Order Code SEP08 4131), a 32-page $3.99 full-color comic, will be in stores on November 12, 2008.<\/p>\n
