JSA #64

A figure in a golden costume dominates this October 2004 cover, his outstretched hands releasing swirling clouds of dark, smoky sand against a stark black background — an image that feels both haunting and quietly powerful. The story inside is titled "Waking the Sandman, Part Two: Night Terrors," and that cover atmosphere delivers on the promise of something dreamlike and unsettling. Ethan Van Sciver's cover art brings a striking close-up intensity to the character, with the billowing sand consuming much of the frame in a way that's hard to look away from.
