The Golden Age Sandman takes center stage in a thrilling noir mystery that finds his greatest discoveries falling into the wrong hands! It took years of testing and experimentation for Wesley to perfect his sleep gas, creating the perfect weapon for fighting crime without permanently harming criminals. But when the secret journal detailing all his failed, all-too-deadly formulas is stolen, the Sandman must hunt down the thief and root out those pulling their strings before the contents of his journal are released! The New Golden Age dawns in this collection, reprinting the stylish six-issue miniseries from writer Robert Venditti (Superman '78) and artist Riley Rossmo (Suicide Squad)!
