Yes, the word 'Huzzah' isn't used enough when talking in terms of new art acquisitions. Well done Joseph, you old fart! Bloody nice page it is too...

Well I guess I can cross off another page featuring Death that I might possibly own one day. Congratulations on procuring such a seminal Sandman page. I would love to know how you even go about finding such a precious gem.

Oh Sweet Lord man, here are my wounds, why not rub some really chunky sea salt in them! As sweet as it gets!

A key page, from the issue in which the story took off for most of us and Neil found his voice. It started with a conversation between Morpheus and Death, and that's how it also ended. I am glad this one surfaced and that it found its way in such a beautiful collection. Cheers, my friend!

I remember talking to Malcolm at a Dallas Fantasy Fair and telling him how much I loved his inks. He was so humble and gracious. So sad to hear of his death in 1996...just NOW saw it was a suicide. Wow...I don't remember hearing anything about that back then. He was so easy to talk to.

I remember wondering what he had passed from when I heard about his death. AAAGGHHH!! Makes me sad.

A page from the story where Neil Gaiman found his voice, made even more special by Dringenberg and Jones III's stellar art. Cheers!
