The Sandman Omnibus Vol. 3 moves beyond the core Dream saga into the wider afterlife of Neil Gaiman's world: myth, memory, side stories, visual experiments and echoes that show how far the series' influence spread. It is the volume for readers who want the universe around Morpheus, not only the central road to the ending.

The Sandman Omnibus Vol. 1 collects the first half of Neil Gaiman's landmark series — the story of Dream of the Endless, ruler of the realm of sleep, from his captivity and escape through the rebuilding of his kingdom. It is horror, myth, history and literary fantasy in one voice, and it made comics respectable as literature: issue #19, "A Midsummer Night's Dream," became the first comic ever to win a World Fantasy Award. Painted covers by Dave McKean, art by Sam Kieth, Kelley Jones, P. Craig Russell and more. The foundational Vertigo masterpiece in a single oversized volume.

Elseworlds: Batman Omnibus Vol. 1 collects alternate Batmen built from what-if energy: gothic reinventions, historical shadows, strange genres and versions of Bruce Wayne that reveal the core of the character by changing everything around him. The pleasure is seeing how flexible Batman becomes when Gotham is allowed to mutate.
