And so, by night, Wesley Dodds lays aside the trappings of his inherited wealth to roam the shadows as the Sandman, armed with a tranquilizing gas gun and driven by an unrelenting sense of justice. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHaunted and obsessed, the Sandman moves through a decadent, post-Depression landscape, stalking the predators who hide themselves beneath society’s callous indifference to the weak and vulnerable.

His first published work—a short story that introduced one of comicdom’s most respected creator-owned characters-the mastermind assassin, Grendel—was for the fledgling ’80s company, Comico. Best known for this epic creation and his other, more personal allegory, Mage, Matt has also worked on a variety of established characters. These include his ground-breaking work on Batman villain, Two-Face, in the graphic novel, BATMAN: FACES, as well as a five-year stint developing and generating the stories for the fan-favorite Vertigo title, SANDMAN MYSTERY THEATER.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor Residence:\u003c\/b\u003e Portland, OR\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Best Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":43075993567393,"sku":"BBSNIJ9781779521538","price":71.09,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/2084\/5473\/products\/9781779521538.jpg?v=1687204006","url":"https:\/\/www.bestbookstore.ca\/products\/the-sandman-mystery-theatre-compendium-1-paperback-by-matt-wagner","provider":"Best Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
