DESCUBRE LAS AVENTURAS DEL ANTIHÉROE DEL SUBCONSCIENTE CREADO POR SAM KIETHThe Maxx es un extraño personaje que se oculta detrás de una máscara y de cuya naturaleza nadie está seguro, pero que se enfrentará a las pesadillas de su querida Julie y las maquinaciones del Sr. Ido. The Maxx también es la obra más personal de Sam Kieth (Epicuro el Sabio), una de las primeras series publicadas por Image y, desgraciadamente, una obra que nunca llegó a publicarse por completo en España... ¡Hasta ahora! En el primer volumen de esta nueva edición se incluyen los números 1 a 13 de la edición original, y además la historia corta aparecida en Darker Image no1.

An attempt to summon and imprison Death, results, instead, in the capture of Morpheus, the Sandman, who must regain the tools of his powers.

The second installment of the Sam Kieth Sketchbook series inclues 48 more pages of never-before-seen art. Working in materials and mediums of all variety, this sketchbook offers a unique glimpse of Kieth''s work culled from 25 years worth of notepads.

From the mind of Sam Kieth comes a behind-the-scenes peek at 48 pages of unseen art, collected from his moldy collection of sketchbooks dating back 25 years, featuring pen, pencil, brush, feathers, straws, twigs, watercolor, acrylic, glue, sand, mud, grease, dirt, garbage, and any other debris handy. Enjoy everything: tons of unpublished sketches, pin-ups, thumbnails, and visual tangents.

In Preludes and Nocturnes, an occultist attempting to capture Death to bargain for eternal life traps her younger brother Dream instead. Escaped after his seventy-year imprisonment, Dream goes on a quest for his lost objects of power. On his arduous journey he encounters Lucifer, John Constantine, and an all-powerful madman. This book also introduces us to the pragmatic and perky goth girl Death.

It takes a special type of person to end up here, no matter what side of the law you''re on, or what your job is. For when the midnight hour approaches, all hope is abandoned and inmates and workers alike will wish for the daylight-- and for their sanity. Pray you get out before the darkness comes.

The Sandman, written by New York Times best-selling author Neil Gaiman, was the most acclaimed comic book title of the 1990s. A rich blend of modern myth and dark fantasy in which contemporary fiction, historical drama and legend are seamlessly interwoven, The Sandman is also widely considered one of the most original and artistically ambitious series of the modern age. By the time it concluded in 1996, it had made significant contributions to the artistic maturity of comic books and become a pop culture phenomenon in its own right. Now, DC Comics is proud to present this comics classic in an all-new Absolute Edition format. The first of four beautifully designed slipcased volumes, The Absolute Sandman Vol. 1 collects issues #1-20 of The Sandman and features completely new coloring, approved by the author on the first 18 issues, as well as a host of never-before-seen extra material including the complete original Sandman proposal, a gallery of character designs from Gaiman and the artists who originated the look of the Sandman, and the original script for the World Fantasy Award-winning THE SANDMAN #19, "A Midsummer Night''s Dream," together with reproductions of the issue''s original pencils by Charles Vess. Also included are a new introduction by DC President and Publisher Paul Levitz and an afterword by Gaiman.

Presented in an oversized leather-bound slipcase, this work includes the first twenty issues of "Sandman" in the popular "Absolute" format. It is a useful collection for any Sandman fan, or indeed any serious comics fan.

God has left His Creation and existence teeters on the edge of oblivion. The archangel Michael turns to Destiny of the Endless to determine the future. Whatever insight he gets, however, cannot help. Only Lucifer Morningstar can see what is coming, how it will shake the World Tree to its roots, and how its echoes may even reach the foundations of his own Cosmos.

The third book of the Sandman collection is a series of four short comic book stories. In each of these otherwise unrelated stories, Morpheus serves only as a minor character. Here we meet the mother of Morpheus''s son, find out what cats dream about, and discover the true origin behind Shakespeare''s A Midsummer''s Night Dream.
