☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects the conclusion of Neil Gaiman's landmark series, gathering issues #70–#75 of The Sandman, including the two-part 'The Wake' storyline and the epilogue 'Exiles.' It brings the epic narrative of Dream of the Endless to a poignant and fitting close, with art by a range of acclaimed artists including Michael Zulli, Jon J Muth, and Charles Vess. This New Edition features a new cover and collects the story in a single volume.
In "Chapter One: Which Occurs in the Wake of What Has Gone Before," Neil Gaiman and Michael Zulli craft a haunting, introspective journey as Robert Gadling—immortal and burdened by centuries of memory—finds himself at a Renaissance Fair, drawn there by his girlfriend. Amid the pageantry and fleeting illusions, he encounters Death, yet chooses to remain, grappling with the weight of endless time. The issue’s moody atmosphere is elevated by Dave McKean’s striking cover and Daniel Vozzo and Digital Chameleon’s evocative coloring.
In a quiet moment at a bustling Renaissance Fair, Hob Gadling—eternally young and burdened by centuries of memory—meets Death, who offers him a chance to finally rest. Though the encounter stirs deep emotion, he chooses to keep walking through time, even as Guenevere, Gerry, Hinnegan, and Cordelia move through the fair’s lively chaos. Dream [Morpheus] and Destruction watch from the edges, as the weight of existence and the quiet ache of memory settle over the day’s festivities.
In the vast, sun-baked desert, Master Li—once a court advisor in the imperial court—finds himself cast out and adrift, his past a distant memory. There, he encounters Dream [Morpheus], who offers him a place as a counselor in the realm of dreams, but Li, burdened by his own choices, must decide whether to accept a path beyond the mortal world.
