Your name is Thessaly, and you’re an immortal witch and a former flame of Morpheus, the Lord of Dreams, a.k.a. The Sandman. Moreover, you’ve starred in a four-issue limited series—The Sandman Presents: The Thessaliad, which tells of your running from a celestial bounty hunter called a Fetch. This time out, you’re lying low in a small village in Italy, enjoying the local color, but the freaks and the monsters still find you. But this time out, one turns up in your flat, and you get a clue as to where they’re coming from and how they’re connected to your former beau. Let’s face it: writer Bill Willingham (Fables) hits another one out of the park here, and artist Shawn McManus (Swamp Thing) offers a more-than-able assist. Incredible stuff from a talented creative team.
