Sandman Mystery Theatre, Vol. 5: Dr. Death and the Night of the Butcher

Writers Matt Wagner and Steven T. Seagle and artists Guy Davis and Vince Locke continue their masterly exploration of the pulp detective genre with this fifth collection of Sandman Mystery Theatre as Wesley Dodds is driven by his dreams to fight injustice in the dark of night. Donning a gas mask, fedora, business suit and cape, Dodds goes after evildoers as the vigilante known only as The Sandman. Dr. Death and the Night of the Butcher follows Wesley Dodds through two new cases of serial murderers, each more grisly than the last. But the real challenge for The Sandman will be holding on to his paramour, Dian Belmont, once she finally uncovers his secret career.
