Sandman #1

A face split between light and shadow — one half rendered in pale, shattered glass-like fragments revealing a sharp-toothed mouth and burning eye, the other consumed by deep violet geometric shards concealing a second, hollow gaze — Dave McKean's cover art for this Urban Comics French edition of Sandman Volume I is genuinely arresting. McKean handles every line, texture, and color himself, and the result is a fractured portrait that feels simultaneously human and deeply unsettling. Published in 2012, this hardcover edition brings Neil Gaiman's celebrated series to French readers in striking style.
