    Volume 1 - 1st printing. Collects The Sandman Universe: Nightmare Country (2022 DC) #1-6. Written by James Tynion IV. Art by Lisandro Estherren, Maria Llovet, Andrea Sorrentino, Francesco Francavilla, Dani, Aaron Campbell, and Yanick Paquette. Cover by Alex Eckman-Lawn. Back Cover by Jenny Frison. Acclaimed horror writer James Tynion IV (Something Is Killing the Children, The Nice House on the Lake) has waited his whole career to pay tribute to the mythos of The Sandman, the work that made him the writer he is today—and now that time has come! Art student Madison Flynn has been plagued all her life by visions of a terrifying man with mouths for eyes...but strangely, that vision is not a visit from the Corinthian, one of Dream's most disturbing nightmare creations. When the Corinthian himself learns of this Smiling Man, it will send him on a quest across the nightmare country that is the waking world, where he will grapple with vicious sadomasochists, deranged venture capitalists, and the embodied spirit of America itself! With lush, gorgeous art from Redneck's Lisandro Estherren and a who's-who of superstar guest artists, Nightmare Country is designed to welcome new readers into one of the greatest worlds in DC's library, The Sandman Universe. To make welcoming new readers easier, the collectible hardcover release (packaged with a mini-print of the iconic Death, by artist Jenny Frison) arrives in stores simultaneously with a direct-market exclusive softcover edition, priced as an easy jump-on point; both are available on the same day as the to-be-solicited April #1 issue of Nightmare Country's spectacular follow-up miniseries! Hardcover, 184 pages, full color. Mature Readers Cover price $29.99.

    Volume 2 - 1st printing. Collects Sandman Universe: Nightmare Country the Glass House (2023 DC) #1-6 and Sandman Universe Special: Thessaly (2023 DC). Written by James Tynion IV. Art by Lisandro Estherren and Maria Llovet. Cover by Reiko Murakami. The Corinthian has been turned loose on the waking world once more, and this time he sets his sights on the very root of rapacious American capitalism--Silicon Valley. His relentless pursuit of the Smiling Man will carve a bloody path from the C-suite of Prophet Capital to the bowels of a demonic nightclub, and no one will be safe from his reach. Not Ken, living large in the Bay Area since parting ways with Barbie all those years ago. Not Max, a nervous hedge fund manager on the rise who's never quite fit anywhere. Not Thessaly, the immortal witch who would tear heaven and hell apart to get the answers she seeks surrounding the death of Madison Flynn. Not anyone. Multiple Eisner Award–winning writer James Tynion IV reunites with superstar horror artist Lisandro Estherren to bring you the nightmare-fueled follow-up you've been craving, a tale that will plunge the bottomless depths of our yearning for more at the heart of the American dream. Hardcover, 208 pages, full color. Mature Readers Cover price $29.99.
