DC’s The Annotated Sandman Returns to Print

The annotated edition of Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman is heading back to print early next year.

Per DC Comics’ November 2021 solicitations, The Annotated Sandman Vol. 1 returns with a brand-new printing on Tuesday, March 22, 2022. The 560-page hardcover reprints the first 20 issues of The Sandman, which are “annotated with page-by-page, panel-by-panel commentary explaining the history, references, hidden meanings and other behind-the-scenes details from the making of this unforgettable series.”

Edited and annotated by Leslie S. Klinger, The Annotated Sandman Vol. 1 was initially released in 2012 under DC’s now-defunct Vertigo label, with subsequent volumes. The new issue of Vol. 1, which will hit comic book stores next March, is priced at $ 49.99.

It is written by Gaiman and illustrated by Sam Kieth, Mike Dringenberg, Malcolm Jones III, and Chris Bachalo, among others. Vertigo Comics’ The Sandman was originally released in 1989. This dark fantasy title, one of the most critically acclaimed comics, was one of the first graphic novels to appear on the New York Times bestseller list.
