Paradox Press was DC Comic’s attempt to get into non-superhero graphic novels. There were several books that were published through the imprint that garnered interest (most notably Road to Perdition, Stuck Rubber Baby and the Big Book of…series), but the imprint failed due to low sales. Ultimately it did good in producing some great books during it’s run, including John Wagner and Vince Locke’s A History of Violence (later made into a movie starring Viggo Mortensen). It’s an interesting take on a mob book that shows things from a slightly different angle. Let’s check it out and see what the history of violence is.
