New York Times best-selling author Neil Gaiman's transcendent series The Sandman is often hailed as the definitive Vertigo title and one of the finest achievements in graphic storytelling. Gaiman created an unforgettable tale of the forces that exist beyond life and death by weaving ancient mythology, folklore and fairy tales with his own distinct narrative vision.
This slipcase set includes all 10 trade paperback volumes of The Sandman in a 6 3/4 (17cm) x 3 3/8 (8.5cm) x 10 5/16 (26cm) slipcase. Box art by Dave McKean.
