Covertekst
Assembled here for the very first time, without any adornment or distraction, are the stunning cover images created by artist Dave McKean for the Sandman, one of the most acclaimed and award-winning sagas in comics. An impressive body of work that covers the entirety of the Sandman series and beyond, this collection displays an impressive gallery of stiking images created using a combination of painting, photograpy, sculpture and computer manipulation. This book also features an all new, eight-page Sandman storie and commentary on the covers from McKean and Sandman creator Neil Gaiman.
... One of the most influential comic creations of the last decade - Peter Lyle The face
[Dave McKean's] illustrated stories have rarely followed the traditions of the comic book field and his covers have always owed far for more to fine art than the current "artiste du jour"of the comic book crowd...what's collected here presents a singular view of a very talented man whose finished work, at least one gathers from the commentaries, is a mix of careful consideration and happy accidents. - Charles de Lint Fantasy & science fiction
[McKean's]covers for the sadly now defunkt Sandman helped mark it out from the common comic herd...the ultimate indulgence. - Dominic Wells Time out
Dust Covers: the collected sandman covers is a standalone complement to the Sandman library. This volume may be read and appreciated on its own, or as a part of the Sandman saga.
