The story begins once upon a time when Little Delirium was lost. Her protector and favorite puppy Barnabas searched the waking world for his tiny princess to no avail. Now, Barnabas must travel to the strange and unlikely realms of each of the Endless to see if Delirium’s siblings have seen their missing sister. Cameos by the Sandman, Desire and the other members of the Endless family make this a must-have for any Sandman enthusiast.
This 56-page hardcover is written and exquisitely painted by Eisner-Award winner and fan-favorite SANDMAN artist Jill Thompson. New material will include a special sketchbook section and an advance look at Thompson’s latest Manga project, THE DEADBOY DETECTIVES, scheduled for a summer 2005 release.

THE ORIGINALS HC
Written by Dave Gibbons
Art and cover by Gibbons
THE ORIGINALS. When they walk, they look cool. When they ride, they drive fast. And when they hate, they fight — brutally.
One of comics’ most esteemed names, Dave Gibbons (co-creator and artist of WATCHMEN and Give Me Liberty) arrives at VERTIGO to deliver an original hardcover graphic novel he’s been waiting his entire life to write and draw.
Lel and Bok — two best friends — want nothing more than to join the Originals, the top gang on the streets. Through them, they'll meet the high-speed world of hover scooters, all-night clubs, and, for Lel, the girl of his dreams. But with the fast life comes tough foes, and tribal loyalty will teach them the unforgettable meaning of unforgivable loss.
Neither a science-fiction story nor set in a mundane reality, THE ORIGINALS takes place in a world both familiar and strange, where the young are angry, loyal and fight for what they believe in. And the only thing more important than who your friends are is who your friends hate.
