SANDMAN ist die meistausgezeichnete Comic-Serie der Welt. Die umfangreiche Saga ist eine intelligente und spannende Mischung aus modernen Mythen und düsterer Fantasy, in die zeitgenössische Literatur, historisches Drama und Legenden eingewoben sind. Es sind Geschichten, die man nie vergisst. PRÄLUDIEN & NOTTURNI erzählt vom Herrscher jenes Reiches, in dem wir ein Drittel unseres Lebens verbringen. Alles beginnt im Jahre 1916, als der englische Magier Roderick Burgess den Versuch unternimmt, den Tod in persona, Death, zu fangen, aber stattdessen deren kleinen Bruder Dream erwischt. Beide gehören zu den Ewigen, unsterblichen Wesen, die vom Universum selbst geschaffen und mit verantwortungsvollen Aufgaben betraut wurden. Aber auch gottgleiche Geschöpfe machen Fehler und büßen dafür. PRÄLUDIEN & NOTTURNI ist das erste Buch aus der 10-bändigen SANDMAN-BIBLIOTHEK. Die SANDMAN-Bücher können sowohl in der Reihenfolge ihres Erscheinens als auch einzeln gelesen werden.
