Sandman

A ten-issue miniseries from DC Comics, Sandman (2005–2008) reimagines the classic Golden Age hero, following a new character who takes up the mantle of the Sandman. Written by Mike Carey and illustrated primarily by John Bolton, this mature, horror-tinged series explores the legacy of the original Sandman, Wesley Dodds, and the dark, supernatural forces that surround his gas mask and sleep gun. It's a moody, character-driven story that connects to the broader DC Universe while standing as a distinctive, self-contained supernatural thriller.
