Wesley Dodd’s dream of a better world is now a nightmare, as DC’s original Sandman returns in a gripping new noir mystery!
No one escapes the Sandman's dark dreams, not even Wesley Dodds himself. After years of testing and experimentation, Wesley perfected his sleep gas as the optimal weapon to fight crime without causing undue harm. But when his journal detailing all his failed and far more deadly formulas is stolen, the Sandman must hunt down the thief and the people in the shadows pulling the strings!
Can Wesley solve the mystery of who broke into his home before these noxious weapons are unleashed on the world, or is Sandman fated to fade away into the mists?
Wesley Dodds: The Sandman is written by comics superstar Robert Venditti (Superman ’78) and vividly drawn by fan-favorite artist Riley Rossmo (Harley Quinn). A bold and thoroughly modern exploration of one of comics’ most classic characters, Wesley Dodds: The Sandman is part of DC’s The New Golden Age initiative, along with Jay Garrick: The Flash and Alan Scott: The Green Lantern.
This volume collects Wesley Dodds: The Sandman #1-6.
New York Times bestselling author Robert Venditti broke into comics the old-fashioned way—by starting out in the mailroom. He began working for publisher Top Shelf Productions in 2002, and within a few months sold them the script for The Surrogates, his first comic book series. The story was later adapted into a feature film starring Bruce Willis and Ving Rhames. Venditti went on to write the original graphic novel The Homeland Directive, as well as the graphic novel adaptations of Rick Riordan's bestselling Percy Jackson and the Olympians novels. At DC, he’s written Green Lantern Corps, Hawkman, and Superman ’78.
