The Sandman Presents: Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Dreams...But Were Afraid to Ask #1

In "What Causes Nightmares?", Bill Willingham spins a delightfully twisted tale from the surreal world of The Sandman Presents, where dreams are as real as the waking world. When dream director Winkling takes a vacation, his replacement Peter Starlight takes a very personal revenge—inflicting two weeks of escalating nightmares on a man who once cut him off at the craft services wagon. Albert Monteys’ striking artwork, with Daniel Vozzo and Jamison’s vivid colors and Todd Klein’s crisp lettering, brings the nightmare logic to life, while Dave McKean’s haunting cover sets the tone for a story that’s equal parts darkly funny and deeply unsettling.
