Absolute Sandman Special Edition #1
"Sleep of the Just" marks a pivotal moment in The Sandman saga, with Neil Gaiman's masterful storytelling bringing Morpheus—Dream of the Endless—back into the world after years of imprisonment. Sam Kieth’s evocative interior art, enhanced by Mike Dringenberg’s inks and Daniel Vozzo’s subtle colors, captures the haunting beauty of this long-awaited return, while Todd Klein’s lettering weaves seamlessly through the tale. The cover, a striking collaboration by Dave McKean in pencils and inks, perfectly embodies the story’s eerie, dreamlike tone.
