The prelude to the magic

If Neil Gaiman did not exist it would be necessary to invent it.
This is the first volume of a series of 10 Sandman. It is there the knowledge of King of Dreams captured by a magician who sought to imprison Death (Death's sister Morpheus King of Dreams).
Morpheus prisoner, his kingdom falls into ruin and sleeping mortals is disturbed.
After 70 years of absence, Morpheus must rebuild and repair any damage faient in his absence by various people.
This comic book is a gem by its inventive scenario and tortured drawings that stick to black and dreamlike atmosphere of the book by Neil Gaiman.
If you like comics, especially the DC / Vertigo publications, this is a must have to read urgently.
If you are tired of superhero ... ditto.
