☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis 30th Anniversary Edition collects the final story arc of Neil Gaiman's seminal series, The Sandman. The Wake brings the epic narrative of Dream of the Endless to a poignant conclusion, exploring the aftermath of his passing and the gathering of his siblings for his funeral. This volume includes issues #70-75 of the original series, along with the one-shot The Sandman: The Dream Hunters #1-4 and bonus material celebrating the series' legacy.
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 yet burdened by centuries of memory—finds himself at a Renaissance Fair, his past echoing through every moment. Amid the pageantry, he encounters Death, yet chooses to keep walking the long road of life, even as the weight of eternity presses down. The issue's moody atmosphere is perfectly captured in Dave McKean’s haunting cover art, a visual echo of the story’s quiet, melancholic power.
In "The Wake: An Epilogue - Sunday Mourning," Hob Gadling—immortal by Dream’s hand—finds himself at a bustling Renaissance Fair, his long life weighing heavy as he shares the day with his girlfriend. Amid the pageantry, he crosses paths with Death, who offers quiet understanding, yet he chooses to keep walking through time, even as memories of the past pull at him.
In a quiet desert beyond the reach of empires, Master Li—once a court scholar, now a man cast out—meets the Sandman, who offers him a role as counselor in a realm of dreams. Though the offer is tempting, Li must decide whether to accept a path that leads beyond the known world, or remain true to his own solitary journey.
