Sandman v2 #1 - Dave McKean cover + 1st appearance

Dave McKean

Sandman v2 #1, 1989 - After decades of imprisonment by a deranged occultist, the Lord of Dreams escapes only by chance. Marred by his initial absence, a handful of disparate people around the world begin to recover. Morpheus, the original Sandman, begins the search for his personal effects taken during his capture and re-acquaints himself with the present world. Neil Gaiman's story, drawn by Sam Kieth, begins the series considered a masterpiece in long form storytelling. Dave McKean's unique approach of combining photography and illustration not only establishes the perfect tone for the title, but sets a new standard in comic book horror covers.
