Sandman #42
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freePart of Neil Gaiman's celebrated run, The Sandman #42 arrives in October 1992 as the second chapter of what the cover boldly announces as "Brief Lives." Dave McKean's striking typographic cover design arranges the story's title in a collage of letterforms interwoven with small, unsettling imagery — a heart, a fork, a key, a sun-face, scattered playing card suits — alongside a shadowy, atmospheric portrait that peers out from the darkness. With interiors illustrated by Jill Thompson and inked by Vince Locke, this issue promises the moody, layered storytelling that made this series essential reading in 1992.
