The Sandman – ‘Book One’ Graphic Novel

The Sandman is one of the best-known and most highly regarded graphic books of all time, coming from the brilliant author of American Gods and Coraline. The award-winning masterpiece by Neil Gaiman established the benchmark for sophisticated, lyrical fantasy in the age of contemporary comics.

The series is a rich blending of modern and ancient mythology in which contemporary fiction, historical drama, and legend are seamlessly interwoven. It is illustrated by an exceptional collection of the medium’s most talented artists.

This first of four volumes, which features stunning guest artwork by Chris Bachalo, Colleen Doran, Charles Vess, and Michael Zulli, introduces readers to a dark and enchanted world of dreams and nightmares: the home of Morpheus, the King of Dreams, and his kin, the Endless. It is an unforgettable story about the forces that exist beyond life and death.

This volume collects the narrative arcs ‘Preludes and Nocturnes.’ ‘The Doll’s House,’ and ‘Dream Country’ from The Sandman #1-20, including ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream,’ the first comic book to ever win a World Fantasy Award.
