Sandman Preludier & nocturner

The Norwegian publisher Bladkompaniet (later Schibsted) launched Sandman Preludier & nocturner in 1998, a single-issue collection that adapts the opening story arc of Neil Gaiman and Sam Kieth's legendary DC Comics series. This slim volume brings Gaiman's celebrated script and Kieth's distinctive, moody art to a Scandinavian audience, serving as a localized introduction to the dark fantasy world of the Dream King. It matters as a key piece of the series' international publishing history, showcasing how The Sandman crossed borders in the late 1990s.
