Sandman Mystery Theatre #60

Sandman Mystery Theatre wraps up "The Cannon" with this atmospheric final act — issue #60, the fourth of four chapters in a story that clearly revolves around money, greed, and something far more primal. The cover, rendered by Gavin Wilson and Richard Bruning, fills the frame with a close-up scatter of gold and copper coins alongside a piercing raptor's eye gazing up through the glittering pile, suggesting themes of predation and wealth intertwined in unsettling ways. With Steven T. Seagle and Matt Wagner co-writing and Michael Lark on interior art, this 1998 Vertigo series continues to deliver the pulpy, noir-drenched atmosphere that made it a standout corner of the DC mature-readers line.
