The Sandman Presents: Thessaly: Witch for Hire
DC · 2004 · 4 issues
About the series
In 2004, Bill Willingham and Shawn McManus brought Neil Gaiman's immortal Thessaly to the forefront of the DC Universe for a four-issue miniseries. This spin-off from The Sandman finds the powerful, pragmatic witch taking on a distinctly modern, freelance supernatural detective practice. Willingham's sharp, darkly humorous writing and McManus's expressive, detailed art perfectly capture Thessaly's ruthless competence and ancient, alien perspective. It's a compelling, self-contained story that expands the Sandman mythos while standing on its own as a gritty, magical noir.
