“Sleep of the Just [Master of Dreams Part 1]”

★ 1st appearance — Dream

Sandman #1 (1989) kicks off Neil Gaiman’s landmark series with "Sleep of the Just [Master of Dreams Part 1]," a hauntingly atmospheric tale that introduces Dream—also known as Morpheus—through a quiet, eerie moment in the waking world. The issue’s striking cover, a hauntingly surreal collaboration by Dave McKean in pencils and inks, sets the tone for a series that would redefine supernatural storytelling in comics.
