One of the greatest accomplishments in visual storytelling and the ultimate Vertigo book is often Neil Gaiman, the New York Times best-selling author of the transcendent series SANDMAN. Gaiman combined his own unique storytelling vision with elements of folklore, fairy tales, and ancient mythology to create an intriguing story about forces that persist beyond life and death.
In PRELUDES & NOCTURNES, Dream, the younger brother of Death, is trapped by an occultist who is trying to capture Death in order to trade for perpetual life. After being imprisoned for 70 years and eventually making his way out, Dream—also known as Morpheus—begins a search for his misplaced items of power. Morpheus meets Lucifer, John Constantine, and an all-powerful lunatic on his difficult voyage.
The novella "The Sound of Her Wings," which introduces us to the pragmatic and vivacious goth girl Death, is also included in this anthology.
Contains issues 1 through 8 from the first series.
