Synopsis

Written by Neil Gaiman; Art by Kelley Jones, Charles Vess, Colleen Doran and Malcolm Jones, III; Painted Cover by Dave McKean The third book of the Sandman collection is a series of four short comic book stories. In each of these otherwise unrelated stories, Morpheus serves only as a minor character.

The latter won a World Fantasy Award for best short story, the first time a comic book was given that honor.
