The Sandman #1
The Sandman #1 (2010) kicks off Neil Gaiman’s landmark series with "Sleep of the Just [Master of Dreams Part 1]," a haunting tale where the imprisoned Dream—known as Morpheus—is finally freed after decades in captivity. Sam Kieth’s striking interior art, brought to life with Mike Dringenberg’s inks and Robbie Busch’s subtle colors, complements Gaiman’s richly layered storytelling, while Dave McKean’s iconic cover sets the tone with its eerie, dreamlike vision.
