The Sandman Book One

As the story begins, an occultist attempting to capture Death to bargain for eternal life traps her younger brother Dream instead.

On his arduous journey, Morpheus encounters Lucifer, John Constantine, and an all-powerful madman. Book One collects The Sandman #1-20.

The Sandman Book Two

Ten thousand years ago, Morpheus condemned a woman who loved him to Hell. Now the other members of his immortal family, the Endless, have convinced the Dream King that this was an injustice.

Centuries ago, one of the Endless gave up his duties and left his realm, never to be seen again.
