“The City Act Two: Staten Island”

A woman with a way with words and a lust for mystery sits pensively on a park bench in this evocative 1998 installment of DC/Vertigo's Sandman Mystery Theatre — her wide-brimmed hat and layered coat suggesting both style and purpose against a moody, wintry urban backdrop. The cover copy tells us she'll need every wile to find a writer lost within the city, setting a deliciously noir tone for Act II of "The City" storyline. With writing by Steven T. Seagle, art by Guy Davis, and a haunting photographic cover by Gavin Wilson and Richard Bruning, this issue delivers the atmospheric pulp sophistication the series does so well.
