Edwin Paine and Charles Rowland are no different than most boys. They love adventure, games, and spending time outdoors. They’re curious about girls, curious about life, and particularly curious when it comes to mysteries. You see, Edwin Paine and Charles Rowland happen to be two of the best detectives in England. Note that we didn’t say living in England. That’s because Edwin and Charles aren’t living in England. In fact, they’re not living at all.

Written by comics legend Matt Wagner and illustrated by acclaimed artists Guy Davis, John Watkiss and R.G. Taylor, this first volume of the complete SANDMAN MYSTERY THEATRE collects issues #1-12 of the classic Vertigo series and features an insightful introduction by author and pop culture historian Dave Marsh. The year is 1938, and the world is holding its breath mesmerized by the onrushing storm that will soon engulf it in fire and steel. In New York City, one man s sleep is filled with tormenting visions of the evils that mankind visits upon itself, compelling him to act. And so, by night, Wesley Dodds lays aside the trappings of his inherited wealth to roam the shadows as the Sandman, armed with a tranquilizing gas gun and driven by an unrelenting sense of justice. Haunted and obsessed, the Sandman moves through a decadent, post-Depression landscape, stalking the predators who hide themselves beneath society s callous indifference to the weak and vulnerable. No one sees him at his work until he chooses to reveal himself no one, that is, except the woman who is destined to be the light to his darkness."

When Batman's greatest nemesis, Ra's al Ghul, recruits Bizarro and an Amazon warrior to aid him in his plan to create global chaos, the Dark Knight Detective suddenly finds himself working with the Man of Steel and the Amazon Princess. Looking to thwart the madman's plot to simultaneously destroy all satellite communications as well as all of the world's oil reserves, Earth's greatest heroes reluctantly band together. But if Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman are to have any hope of stopping Ra's' nuclear missile assault, they will first need to overcome their own biases and reconcile their differing philosophies. It collects Batman/Superman/Wonder Woman: Trinity number 1-3.

Důsledky nerozvážných činů se často ozývají i po velmi dlouhé době a chyby dělají i nesmrtelné bytosti. Podruhé v krátkém čase se musí Sandman vydat do Pekla, aby zachránil svoji dávnou lásku. Jaké je však jeho překvapení, když namísto očekávané konfrontace s Luciferem obdrží klíče od pekla. Danajštější dar si lze jen těžce představit, avšak to zatím Morfeus netuší. Důsledky tohoto činu ho totiž dostihnou mnohem, mnohem později...
