Sandman Mystery Theatre

In the mid-2000s, Planeta DeAgostini collected the acclaimed 1990s Vertigo series Sandman Mystery Theatre into a 14-issue run, reprinting the complete pulp-noir adventures of Wesley Dodds, the original Sandman. This translation brought the Depression-era crime-fighting of writer Matt Wagner and a rotating cast of artists—including Guy Davis and John Watkiss—to a Spanish-speaking audience. The series stands as a gritty, character-driven counterpoint to the fantasy of Neil Gaiman's Sandman, grounding its masked hero in a world of realistic menace and moral complexity.
