“Chapter One: Which Occurs in the Wake of What Has Gone Before”

Opening the final arc of Neil Gaiman and Michael Zulli's legendary Vertigo series, Sandman #70 (1995) launches "The Wake" with a cover by Dave McKean that is as haunting as it is beautiful. A torso emerges from deep shadow, overgrown with moss and earth, a glowing heart-shaped outline burning at its center — an image that speaks quietly but powerfully of grief, memory, and something left behind. It's a fitting visual threshold for a story chapter titled "Which Occurs in the Wake of What Has Gone Before.
