THE SANDMAN set new standards for comics literature, and the ten volumes of THE SANDMAN library are seen today as one of the high-watermarks of the medium.THE SANDMAN: ENDLESS NIGHTS will be a delight to fans of Gaiman's work and newcomers to the graphic novel. Whether haunting, bittersweet, erotic or nightmarish, the seven stories in this book - one for each of the Endless siblings - reveal strange secrets and surprising truths. Each story is illustrated by some of the greatest comic artists from around the world.P. Craig Russell draws the story of DEATH and one day, two hundred yeas ago, on an island in the Venice lagoon - a day that goes on forever.Milo Manara pains a a story of love and DESIRE in ancient times as a beautiful young woman gets everything she wants... at a price.Bill Stienkiewicz shows us who gets to enter DELIRIUM's realm to perform a strange rescue mission.Miguelanxo Prado takes us back for a DREAM of the dawn of time, when stars spoke and even the Endless were young.Barron Storey creates fifteen heartrending portraits of DESPAIR.Glenn Fabry draws a story of archaeologists uncovering the future and learning a little too much about DESTRUCTION.Frank Quitely draws a final commentary of the DESTINY of these Endless Nights.Neil Gaiman always promised he would return to the world of THE SANDMAN.
