“Sleepy Time Crimes!”

In "Sleepy Time Crimes!", Sandman faces a baffling new foe whose sinister scheme relies on a mysterious camera that emits an invisible gas, leaving victims unconscious without a trace—perfect for pulling off daring heists at high-profile exhibitions. Written and drawn by Jack Kirby, with inks by Joe Simon and letters by Howard Ferguson, this 1944 adventure showcases Kirby’s early genius in a tightly plotted mystery that keeps readers on edge from page one. The cover, also by Kirby, captures the eerie tension of the unseen threat lurking in plain sight.
