The Sandman: Worlds' End

A two-issue prestige-format story from DC's Vertigo imprint, The Sandman: Worlds' End is a self-contained chapter within Neil Gaiman's celebrated Sandman mythos. Illustrated by Bryan Talbot, this 1995 tale follows a group of stranded travelers who gather at an inn at the end of the world, sharing fantastical and poignant stories to pass the time. It stands as a masterful showcase of Gaiman's signature storytelling structure—a frame narrative within a frame narrative—and Talbot's intricate, atmospheric art, making it a memorable, standalone entry in the series' larger exploration of story itself.
