Sandman Mystery Theatre Trade Paperbacks

Written by Matt Wagner Art by John Watkiss & R.G. Taylor Cover by Gavin Wilson & Richard Bruning Collecting the second and third story arcs (issues #5-12) from writer Matt Wagner's acclaimed reimagination of the original Golden Age Sandman, SANDMAN MYSTERY THEATRE VOL. 2: THE FACE AND THE BRUTE finds the Sandman of 1939, Wesley Dodds, and his possible paramour (and narrator) Dian Belmont involved in a series of grisly murders in New York's Chinatown - murders that threaten to reignite the bad old days of the Tong Wars, when blood ran in the streets like water. Following the drama of 'The Face,' Wesley and Dian are confronted with corruption at the other end of the social scale in 'The Brute,' as they track down the trail of misery left by a man whose gross sensual appetites for lust and violence are rivaled only by his wealth.
