“[Worlds' End, Part 5] Cerements”

The hauntingly beautiful cover of Sandman #55 — painted by Dave McKean — presents a skeletal figure, ribs exposed and glowing with a deep crimson light at the chest cavity, emerging from a dark background layered with handwritten script. It's a quietly unsettling image that perfectly suits the "Worlds' End" arc, with Neil Gaiman joined here by artists Shea Anton Pensa and Bryan Talbot alongside inkers Vince Locke and Mark Buckingham. For readers following this remarkable 1993 Vertigo series, this installment titled "Cerements" promises another atmospheric chapter in one of comics' most thoughtfully crafted ongoing narratives.
