Sandman Book 1

Description

Sandman Book 1 is the beginning of the legendary The Sandman series created by Neil Gaiman. This edition introduces a dark, mythological, and imaginative story about dreams, death, power, and the human world.

The story begins with an occultist who seeks to capture Death and use her power to gain eternal life. However, the ritual does not go as planned – instead of Death, he imprisons her younger brother Dream, also known as Morpheus.

After almost 70 years of imprisonment, Dream finally breaks free. Returning to his realm, he finds it in ruins and realizes that he must first reclaim the lost symbols of his power.

The journey that begins leads Morpheus to incredible and dangerous worlds. Lucifer, John Constantine, and an all-powerful madman appear on his path, and Dream gradually confronts the consequences of his own past.

Sandman Book 1 collects The Sandman #1-20 and presents the first crucial chapters of one of DC and Vertigo's most famous comic series.
