There is a place where gods are born and stories are spun. But twenty-three years after he was anointed as its master, Dream of the Endless has inexplicably abandoned the dreaming. From the mind of Neil Gaiman, the Sandman Universe is a new world filled with dreams and nightmares, building upon his New York Times best-selling series that lyrically weaved together stories of dreams and magic. The Dreaming Vol. 1 is one of four new DC Vertigo titles from the Sandman Universe. Dream's absence triggers a series of crimes and calamities that consume the lives of those already tangled in his fate. Until Dream is found, his realm's residents must protect its broken borders alone. But the most senior storysmiths are tormented by invasive secrets, the warden Lucien is doubting his own mind, and beyond the gates something horrific awaits with tooth and talon. Only Dora, the monstress, finds opportunity in madness, stealing dreams for the highest bidder. But she has no idea how deep the danger lies. Meanwhile, in Dream's gallery, something new is growing... Author Si Spurrier (Motherlands, Suicide Squad) and artist Bilquis Evely (Batman, Wonder Woman) unite for the first book in the Sandman Universe, a new line of books curated by Neil Gaiman, conjuring epic storytelling and immersing readers into the evolving world of the Dreaming. Celebrate the groundwork that lead to these new stories with the 25th anniversary of Vertigo, long renowned for some of the greatest graphic novels storytelling of all time. It's been home to such groundbreaking series as The Sandman, Saga of the Swamp Thing, Doom Patrol, Y- The Last Man, Preacher and much more!
