The Kindly Ones, Part 1 of 13. At last it has come - a time long foretold, a conflagration of nightmarish proportions that will affect the future of the Endless and the fate of the Dreaming. The Corinthian, Lucifer Morningstar, the Three Witches, Cluracan and Nuala, Mervyn Pumpkinhead, all these and others - friends, foes and unexpected betrayers - return in 'The Kindly Ones,' the last major story arc of THE SANDMAN. Joining Neil Gaiman in this landmark storyline is Marc Hempel, creator of GREGORY, using the lush, sensuous style he employed in BREATHTAKER. Following the conclusion of 'The Kindly Ones,' THE SANDMAN will continue with several self-contained epilogues and stand-alone tales. THE SANDMAN #57 also features an 8-page preview of AMERICAN FREAK: A TALE OF THE UN-MEN, by Dave Louapre and Vince Locke, in lieu of interior ads. Painted cover by Dave McKean. Suggested for Mature Readers. New Format. Cover price $1.95.

The Wake, Part 1 of 4. The shocking conclusion of 'The Kindly Ones' has altered forever the face of the Dreaming, bringing with it a time of reflection and a sad celebration. It's a wake in which friends and loved ones, relatives and rivals, fleeting lovers and immortal enemies gather to pay their respects...and to mourn their loss. 'The Wake' is a 3-part story arc by Neil Gaiman and exquisitely illustrated by Michael Zulli (WITCHCRAFT, ALICE COOPER'S THE LAST TEMPTATION), whose art is reproduced and colored directly from the beautifully detailed pencils. Gaiman reunites the Endless for the first time since 'Season of Mists,' as the enigmatic siblings vist the Necropolis Litharge, where a monument is erected, and where the future begins to take shape. Painted cover by Dave McKean. Suggested for Mature Readers. Rebax Format. Cover price $2.50.

First Printing. The last grains trickle through the glass, a pen is set down, perhaps a soft sigh is heard. And with a strange sense of waking as if from some elusive, intangible dream, one of the most significant, closely followed and highly praised chapters in the history of comics draws to an all-too-soon but triumphant close. THE SANDMAN, Neil Gaiman's critically acclaimed and award-winning series, has consistently challenged and sparked the imagination of readers throughout the world. With compelling, multileveled storytelling and an unprecedented diversity of artistic styles, THE SANDMAN became the flagship title of DC's Vertigo imprint. Now Gaiman's poetic, personal exploration of the human condition and the lives touched by the eerie power of Dream concludes its 7-year run with #75, "The Tempest." Illustrated by Charles Vess (Gaiman's collaborator on the World Fantasy Award-winning "A Midsummer Night's Dream" from #19), "The Tempest" tells the final tale of the Sandman as Morpheus collects the last part of the debt owed to him by William Shakespeare. With dramatic interludes on a mysterious island, along with monsters, sprites, gods, maidens, apparitions and certain observations on English weather, "The Tempest" brings long-promised closure to what Steve Erickson in the Los Angeles Times Magazine described as "the best monthly comic book in the world." THE SANDMAN #75 is an extra-sized issue with a special 4-color, bound-in gatefold poster featuring art from the original cover of THE DOLL'S HOUSE trade paperback by Dave McKean one one side, and a commemorative time-line on the other. The issue also includes 2 'farewell' text pages by Gaiman. Cover by Dave McKean. Suggested for Mature Readers. Cover price $3.95.
