Comic Book Cover Art: The Sandman

After showcasing artwork from some of my favourite artists and movies, I'm turning my attention to the cover art to some of my favourite comic books.

Featuring covers from favourites like The Sandman, Preacher, Swamp Thing and John Constantine: Hellblazer to current favourites, Fables, Saga, American Vampire and Chew, plus many more that grab my attention.

But I'll be starting with one of the series that got me into comic books in the first place back in the late 1980's / early 1990's; DC/Vertigo Comics' The Sandman, written by Neil Gaiman and the cover art mostly by Dave McKean.
