The Sandman took up the baton of Alan Moore's Swamp Thing to become DC's biggest horror comic of the 1990s. Since then, the series has become a comic book institution, with writer Neil Gaiman becoming a literary superstar. The Sandman would eventually have a little bit of everything sprinkled throughout its original 76 issue run - 75 regular issues and one special - but in the early days of the book, the horror was right up front, especially in the first story arc, which has been collected as Preludes And Nocturnes.
