Sandman

Dream of the Endless, lord of the realm of dreams, is captured by occultists in 1916 and imprisoned for seventy years. After his escape he sets out to rebuild his kingdom and recover his tools of office, and over seventy-five issues faces his siblings Death, Desire and Despair, gods, fairies, serial killers and his own rigid nature. Neil Gaiman's Vertigo series, drawn by a rotating cast of artists, ran from 1989 to 1996.
