Book overview

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Now a hit NETFLIX series

The first of 4 comprehensive volumes introducing readers to a dark and enchanting world of dreams and nightmares: the home of Morpheus, the King of Dreams, and his kin, the Endless.

The award-winning masterpiece that set the standard for mature, lyrical fantasy in the modern comics era, from the beloved author of American Gods and Coraline.

One of the most popular and critically acclaimed graphic novels of all time and illustrated by an exemplary selection of the medium's most gifted artists, Sandman weaves a spellbinding tapestry that fuses modern myth with the timeless narratives of history and folklore. Here, in the domain of the Endless, epic stories unfold--stories that transcend the boundaries of life and death.

With stunning visuals crafted by a handpicked cadre of the industry's most talented artists, including Sam Kieth, Mike Dringenberg, Malcolm Jones III, and Kelley Jones, with spectacular guest art by Chris Bachalo, Colleen Doran, Charles Vess, and Michael Zulli.

Volume 1 spans "The Sandman" issues #1-20 and collects the pivotal story arcs "Preludes and Nocturnes," "The Doll's House," and "Dream Country." It also includes the historic "A Midsummer Night's Dream," the first comic book ever to receive the prestigious World Fantasy Award.
