About the series
In 2000, Mike Carey and Steve Leialoha expanded the dreamlike corners of the DC Universe with this four-issue miniseries from the Sandman Presents line. It follows Petrefax, a minor player from Neil Gaiman's "The Sandman," as he navigates the strange, death-tinged world of the necropolis Litharge. Carey's gothic sensibility and Leialoha's fluid, expressive linework craft a morbidly charming tale that deepens the lore of the Dreaming without ever needing its central figure. A quiet, standalone gem for readers who want more of the Sandman mythos's eerie, offbeat side.
