Product Details

ATMOSPHERIC SANDMAN UNIVERSE DARK FANTASY! Up for sale is The Dreaming #31, published under DC Comics' Vertigo imprint with a cover date of December 1998. Featuring a haunting, mixed-media photo-collage cover illustration by legendary designer Dave McKean, this issue expands Neil Gaiman's iconic Sandman mythology with eerie, surreal beauty. Written by acclaimed dark fantasy authors Caitlín R. Kiernan and Peter Hogan with interior artwork by Paul Lee, Kim DeMulder, Shawn McManus, Scott Hampton, and Gary Amaro, this issue presents the story "Many Mansions: November Eve". As atmospheric shifts ripple across the Dreaming, the boundaries between the waking realm and Morpheus's realm blur, leading to haunting encounters among the inhabitants of the castle. Kiernan and Hogan weave intricate psychological horror and rich literary prose, backed by a powerhouse art team that delivers quintessential late-90s Vertigo storytelling. CONDITION: 6.5 Fine+ (FN+). This raw copy displays solid structural integrity with moderate handling wear typical of dark-covered Vertigo issues. Visual inspection reveals visible color-breaking spine stress lines, surface scuffing and rubbing across the dark glossy cover artwork, and minor corner wear along the outer margins. The back cover exhibits mild edge yellowing and light handling soiling, but the issue lies flat with intact staples and complete interior pages.
