Description

Original comic book artwork for The Sandman #1 page 9. This historic issue features the 1st Appearance of the main character the Sandman also known as Dream. It features close-up views of Dream's tools which are seldom seen together throughout the entire series. The layout of this page is highly inventive in composition and symmetry which may have been inspired by M.C. Escher's Hand with Reflecting Sphere lithograph.

Neil Gaiman cleverly personalizes his signature with a quote from the page itself that says "A profitable evening's work" recognizing the importance that this comic page now represents.

A group of occultists seeking immortality led by Roderick Burgess attempts to summon and capture the very essence of Death. Instead of trapping Death, they have caught her brother Dream. While knocked unconscious from being summoned, Dream is stripped of all his possessions, the tools of his power; Ruby, Helm, Pouch, and Cloak. He is then confined inside a crystal dome prison. Stripped naked, Dream patiently waits for an opportunity to break free from his imprisonment.

Art is larger and measures 13-1/8 inches by 19-1/2 inches and is on a large size bristol board.

I could go on and on about how incredibly cool and epic the piece is, but I won't since any Sandman fan would love to that as a centerpiece for their collection. Congrats on the acquisition!

I've looked at this page many times and I have long admired its fearful symmetry, but I never once thought of M.C. Escher's Hand with Reflecting Sphere lithograph. However, now that you've mentioned it, why yes!
