About the series
In 1990, the German publisher Altamira released a single-issue comic, Der Sandmann – Das öde Haus, adapting E.T.A. Hoffmann's classic tale of a mysterious, unsettling stranger who haunts a young man's imagination. This standalone volume brings the eerie, Romantic-era horror story to the comics medium, offering a visually driven interpretation of Hoffmann's psychological dread. It stands as a specific, literary-minded entry in Altamira's catalog, notable for its direct engagement with a foundational work of German fantasy.
