The Sandman #4
In "The Castle," Neil Gaiman’s hauntingly poetic storytelling continues as Robert Gadling—immortal by Morpheus’s hand—finds himself at a Renaissance Fair, haunted by the weight of his endless years. Drawn into a quiet moment of connection with Death, he faces a choice that echoes through eternity, all rendered in Michael Zulli’s evocative art and Daniel Vozzo’s moody colors. The cover, a striking collaboration by Dave McKean, captures the dreamlike unease of the tale.
