A collection of the Neil Gaiman's wildly popular dream-weaving series THE SANDMAN.
This graphic novel collects the fourth major story arc of the SANDMAN comic book series, issues 21 through 28. Realizing that condemning his lover Nada to Hell 10,000 years ago was perhaps not the most courteous response to her rejection of him, Dream decides to return to Hell to free her. When he arrives there, Lucifer, King of Hell, announces his decision to abdicate, empties Hell, locks all its gates, and hands the Key to Hell to Dream. Now, a host of assorted deities and other otherworldly entities are turning up in Dream's realm, hoping to persuade, bribe, or coerce him into giving the Key, and thus the rule of Hell, to them. Meanwhile, the multitudes of damned souls, freed from Hell, are turning up on Earth. This story arc is particularly important because it introduces one of the main themes of the series, which is that while other characters embrace the possibility of change, of reinventing themselves, Dream is incapable of following suit, although on some level, he clearly wants to. To do so would mean abandoning his responsibilities and that would be inconceivable for him--a point of view which has tragic consequences later in the series.
