New York Times best-selling author Neil Gaiman's transcendent series SANDMAN is often hailed as the definitive Vertigo title and one of the finest achievements in graphic storytelling. Gaiman created an unforgettable tale of the forces that exist beyond life and death by weaving ancient mythology, folklore and fairy tales with his own distinct narrative vision.

Take an apartment house, add a drag queen, a lesbian couple, some talking animals, a talking severed head, a confused heroine and the deadly cuckoo. Stir vigorously with a hurricane and Morpheus himself and you get this fifth volume of the SANDMAN series, collecting issues #32-37 of the Vertigo classic. This story stars Barbie, who first makes an appearance in THE DOLL'S HOUSE and now finds herself a princess in a vivid dreamworld.
