The Sandman: Fables and Reflections

A single-issue chapter from Neil Gaiman's landmark Sandman saga, Fables and Reflections collects several standalone stories that explore the nature of stories themselves, from ancient myths to modern-day fables. Published by DC in 1993, this volume features art by Kent Williams and others, weaving tales of kings, tricksters, and the Lord of Dreams himself. It matters as a key part of The Sandman's acclaimed run, demonstrating Gaiman's ability to blend folklore, history, and fantasy into a cohesive, poetic whole.
