Dark, groundbreaking, and incredibly successful.

One of the most popular and successful comic series of all time, Neil Gaiman's award-winning masterpiece The Sandman set the standard for lyrical fantasy stories aimed at a more mature audience in the modern comic industry. Illustrated
by the most talented artists, the series is a rich blend of modern and ancient mythology, where contemporary literature, historical drama, and legends coexist harmoniously.

"Preludes and Nocturnes" collects the first eight issues of The Sandman series and marks the beginning of an epic story, unlike anything seen in the comic world, introducing readers to the dark and enchanting world of dreams and nightmares — the realm of Morpheus, the King of Dreams, and his family, the Endless.

Neil Gaiman's story was honored with a total of 26 Eisner Awards and was nominated for the Hugo and Bram Stoker Awards!

"Neil Gaiman's work on this graphic novel is considered legendary, and for good reason. The story, as a whole, is as good as Watchmen and of equal (if not greater) literary value. If I had to make a list of the 100 best graphic novels I've ever read, it would definitely be on it. Whether you've read The Sandman before or it's your first time, this is a book you must buy."
