WRITTEN BY MIKE CAREY; ILLUSTRATED BY STEVE LEIALOHA; COVER BY PASCAL ALIXE. The popular SANDMAN PRESENTS line ? based on characters and concepts from THE SANDMAN ? expands into untraveled worlds of magic with SANDMAN PRESENTS: PETREFAX. This 4-issue VERTIGO miniseries showcases Petrefax, the young undertaker from the WORLDS' END storyline, as he strikes out from the Necropolis in search of journeyman work ? only to find he's got a full-time job just staying alive! Written by Mike Carey (SANDMAN PRESENTS: LUCIFER) with stunning, intricate art by Steve Leialoha (NEVADA) and beautiful covers by Pascal Alixe (THE BATMAN CHRONICLES, GEN13), PETREFAX takes us to Malegrise, a land with the look of 18th-century England and a culture of magic all its own, where nearly every citizen is a sorcerer. When the beautiful, stubborn Calcinia Smith tries to escape a forced marriage by using gypsy magic to feign her death, she becomes trapped in a physical limbo ? her soul intact, but her body dead and deteriorating fast. Hired to embalm her, Petrefax is now the only one who knows her secret ? and the only one who can keep her "alive" with his skills. Pulled into Calcinia's cross-country quest to escape her fate, Petrefax must contend with supernatural monsters, bigoted aristocrats, and the sorcerous wrath of her jilted groom in a rousing tale that finds humanity in magic, and humor in the trappings of death.

If mayhem could be refined, its architect would be Sebastian O. He can outwit any rival, outfight any foe and outdress any other wilting, poetical fop who has a talent for tasteful and decorous two-fisted action. Set in an alternate London of the 1890s where computer technology has been perfected and virtual reality is the plaything of Decadents and dandies, SEBASTIAN O is not only a 3-issue, action-packed romp through mean streets where bon mots fly like teflon-coated bullets, but also a wry commentary on a perverse, self-deceiving society brought to you by Grant Morrison and Steve Yeowell. The hero of the piece is Sebastian O, a quick-talking Oscar Wildean dandy and an expert escapologist, who has somehow learned a secret that threatens the existence of a very important, very exclusive Club - enough that they have him incarcerated in Bedlam asylum. If only he could remember what the secret is. In hot pursuit of the cads that locked him away, Sebastian tussles with assassins and rogues, none of whom could ever triumph because none are as exquisitely dressed as he. Cover by Yeowell. Suggested for Mature Readers. New Format. Cover price $1.95.
