The Sandman

DC Comics continues its series of Jack Kirby titles with a volume collecting this 1940s super-hero series for the first time ever.

In 1942, Jack Kirby and Joe Simon began a remarkable run of stories for DC Comics that included The Sandman, featured in the pages of ADVENTURE COMICS. Leaving behind his trademark green suit, fedora and gas mask, The Sandman became a brightly costumed adventurer, on the trail of crime in the big city with the help of his sidekick, Sandy the Golden Boy.

With a strong element of the fantastic in the form of haunted dreams and foes claiming to be figures of myth, these stories were the kind of fast-paced, slam-bang adventures that made Kirby and Simon famous.
