Neil Gaiman and Sam Kieth’s iconic opening to The Sandman is presented here as a standalone primer for new readers, part of DC’s 2013 Essentials line. This single issue reprints the series’ debut, introducing its hauntingly lyrical vision of the Dream King without any of the ongoing narrative’s later complexities. It’s a concise, accessible entry point into one of comics’ most celebrated fantasy epics, designed for those who want to start at the very beginning.
