Death of Roderick Burgess!From the first issue of Neil Gaiman's modern classic, recently adapted into a hugely popular series on Netflix, comes this wonderful twice-up page by the artistic team of Sam Kieth and Mike Dringenberg. This page features Roderick Burgess, confronting a captured Dream, whom he imprisoned while attempting to lure his sister Death. lamenting the Sandman's unwillingness to grant him the power he so richly desires. The page closes with Burgess, seen form the perspective of his captive, succumbing, as we all do, to the ravages of time. Sandman's dialog balloons, reverse white on black masterfully designed by Todd Klein, have become synonymous with the character, this page features its second ever appearance in the series, and the first time it's used for more than single word captions, as he laments that even with the death of his captor he remains imprisoned. A piece of comics history from the first issue of the premiere series by one of the greatest writers the medium has ever known. Pen and ink. Art is in excellent condition. Signed by Kieth.
