Neil Gaiman, P. Craig Russell.
The Dream Hunters: (graphic novella).
DC. 2019

One of the most popular and critically acclaimed graphic novels of all time, Neil Gaiman’s award-winning masterpiece The Sandman set the standard for mature, lyrical fantasy in the modern comics era. Illustrated by an exemplary selection of the medium’s most gifted artists, the series is a rich blend of modern and ancient mythology in which contemporary fiction, historical drama and legend are seamlessly interwoven.

In The Dream Hunters, legendary artist P. Craig Russell returns to the world of the Dreaming to adapt Neil Gaiman and Yoshitaka Amano’s original illustrated novella into a mesmerizing new comics interpretation. Retelling Gaiman’s celebrated story of a humble young monk and the magical fox who falls in love with him, Russell beautifully brings to life every aspect of the richly evocative world set down in this timeless fable of desire, sacrifice and love that was never meant to be.
