The Sandman: The Wake #[10]

In "Chapter One: Which Occurs in the Wake of What Has Gone Before," Neil Gaiman and Michael Zulli weave a haunting meditation on time and memory as Robert Gadling, immortal by Morpheus’s hand, finds himself at a Renaissance Fair—caught between past and present. Drawn into a quiet, poignant moment with Death, he chooses to keep living, even as the weight of endless years presses down. The issue’s mood is shaped by Daniel Vozzo and Digital Chameleon’s subtle colors, Todd Klein’s delicate lettering, and Dave McKean’s haunting cover art.
