About this Collection

This New Edition of The Sandman Vol. 1: Preludes & Nocturnes collects the first eight issues of Neil Gaiman's groundbreaking DC series, introducing Dream of the Endless as he escapes a decades-long imprisonment and sets out to reclaim his lost tools of power. The volume establishes the dark fantasy tone and mythological scope of the series, featuring key early arcs like 'The Sleep of the Just' and 'The Doll's House' alongside the first appearances of characters such as Lucifer and Death.

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.
