The Annotated Sandman #4

In "The Castle," Neil Gaiman and Michael Zulli deliver a quietly haunting chapter as Robert Gadling—immortal by Morpheus’s hand—finds himself at a Renaissance Fair, his long life weighing heavy. Drawn into a moment of quiet reckoning, he meets Death, yet chooses to keep walking through time, even as the past shadows his steps. Dave McKean’s evocative cover captures the eerie beauty of the moment, while Todd Klein’s lettering grounds the story in its dreamlike rhythm.
