“Dr. Death Act One”

The gas-masked, wide-brimmed silhouette of the Sandman looms between two raised pistols on this atmospheric 1994 Vertigo cover — a perfectly composed image of noir dread, with the tagline "deep in the unyielding shadows, his fatal diagnosis was cast in ink" setting a suitably ominous tone. This is "Dr. Death Act One," the opening chapter of a four-part arc written by Matt Wagner and Steven T. Seagle, with interior art by Guy Davis and Vince Locke. Cover art by Gavin Wilson and Richard Bruning delivers the moody, painterly quality that made Sandman Mystery Theatre one of DC's most distinctive mature-readers titles of its era.
