Sandman Mystery Theatre Compendium Two

The second half of Matt Wagner, Steven T. Seagle, and Guy Davis’ acclaimed DC/Vertigo series is collected in a massive Compendium collection!

In the celebrated 1990s series Sandman Mystery Theatre, millionaire Wesley Dodds becomes the Sandman to fight injustice in 1930s New York City, going after kidnappers, blackmailers and predators who prey on rich socialites.

This reinvention of the Golden Age Sandman character quickly drew praise from comics critics and fans, and lasted 70 issues, mostly from the team of writers Matt Wagner and Steven T. Seagle, and artist Guy Davis.

In these stories, Wesley Dodds uncovers the origin of one of his oldest adversaries, unravels the mystery of a series of brutal murders amid the 1939 New York World's Fair, encounters a brash young pilot called Blackhawk, and more.

These include his ground-breaking work on Batman villain, Two-Face, in the graphic novel, BATMAN: FACES, as well as a five-year stint developing and generating the stories for the fan-favorite Vertigo title, SANDMAN MYSTERY THEATER.
