In 2018 Dysart once again was part of the launch line-up of a brand new company TKO Studios with an original graphic novel "Goodnight Paradise". A murder mystery that takes place in the homeless culture of Venice Beach, California as it is rapidly gentrifying due to technology companies moving in. Dysart has lived in Venice Beach since the early 2000s. The book has received overwhelmingly positive reviews for its humanist exploration of community disintegration and displacement. The AV CLUB said, "the book is a savage takedown of a society that prioritizes profit over people." And Comics Beat concluded that it was, "As compassionate a portrayal of the homeless as any medium has seen in recent years." Goodnight Paradise is a prime example of a perennial theme of Dysart's..."The issue of displaced humanity has been central to a lot of my work, going all the way back to my "Unknown Soldier" days, but this was the first time I’ve turned that lens on my own community. I suppose there’s a richness of character and general detail that comes from the fact that this is pulled from more than a decade of material and thought on the subject and the place." - Joshua Dysart
