About the series
In 2001, DC’s Vertigo imprint spun off this four-issue miniseries from the world of The Sandman, pairing writer Ed Brubaker with artist Bryan Talbot for a moody, supernatural detective story. It follows two young ghost-hunting lads whose occult investigations lead them into a London underworld of ghouls, lost souls, and a mysterious, otherworldly agency. A compact, character-driven noir that expands the mythos of Neil Gaiman’s dream realm, it remains a cult favorite for its blend of wit, melancholy, and Talbot’s evocative gothic linework.
