About the Sandman The Complete Shakespeare Collection (Mature)

Art by Charles Vess, Bryan Talbot, John Ridgway, Michael Zulli, and Steve Parkhouse Perhaps no other literary figure has been more closely associated with The Sandman than playwright William Shakespeare. A Midsummer Night's Dream from The Sandman #19 established that Auberon, Titania, and other faerie characters from Will's plays existed within the Sandman Universe, and issue #75 revealed the full extent of the bargain made between Morpheus and Shakespeare that allowed his work to inspire humanity for generations to come. To commemorate the Bard's 460th anniversary, DC Comics proudly presents all of the Sandman Shakespeare issues assembled in one volume, recolored by Eisner, Harvey, and Inkpot award-winning colorist Steve Oliff (Akira, Absolute Swamp Thing by Alan Moore). These key appearances include Shakespeare's initial cameo in The Sandman #13, the aforementioned World Fantasy Award-winning The Sandman #19, and the final Sandman story, The Tempest, featuring select painted interiors by Charles Vess. This all-in-one collection is a must-have for fans of literature and fantasy and those who believe in the power of dreams.
