| | Sandman Mystery Theatre: The House of Vertigo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19) |
 | | In April 1993 Matt Wagner, acclaimed writer of various Grendel comics, began a more faithful revival of the golden age Sandman in Sandman Mystery Theatre, an ongoing series which ran for 70 issues and 6 years. |
 | | The comic was a 1930s period piece, set largely in Manhattan, and was (predictably) described as "noirish". |
 | | Despite the way it sounds, the comic had a definite Vertigo sensibility, with adult themes, rounded characters and understated drama. |
