Sandman #41
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeSeptember 1992 marks the opening chapter of "Brief Lives," and this collage-style Dave McKean cover sets an appropriately enigmatic mood — fragments of text, a gloved hand, a dark butterfly, a Pre-Raphaelite face, and an open journal titled Journal of the Plague Year are assembled like clues in a dream. Tantalizing caption snippets visible on the cover — "Not her sister?", "Rain in the doorway," and "The number you have dialed…" — hint at the layered, interwoven stories Neil Gaiman crafts within, brought to life by Jill Thompson and Vince Locke. A richly atmospheric entry point into one of Sandman's most celebrated arcs.
