Acclaimed horror writer James Tynion IV (Something Is Killing the Children, The Nice House on the Lake) has waited his whole career to pay tribute to the mythos of The Sandman, the work that made him the writer he is today-and now that time has come! Art student Madison Flynn has been plagued all her life by visions of a terrifying man with mouths for eyes...but strangely, that vision is not a visit from the Corinthian, one of Dream's most disturbing nightmare creations. When the Corinthian himself learns of this "Smiling Man," it will send him on a quest across the nightmare country that is the waking world, where he will grapple with vicious sadomasochists, deranged venture capitalists, and the embodied spirit of America itself! With lush, gorgeous art from Redneck's Lisandro Estherren and a who's-who of superstar guest artists, Nightmare Country is designed to welcome new readers into one of the greatest worlds in DC's library, The Sandman Universe. Collects The Sandman Universe: Nightmare Country #1-6.

      Best-selling horror comics author Tynion (The Nice House on the Lake) and illustrator Estherren (Night Train) present a new tale set in the world of Neil Gaiman's The Sandman. Since childhood, Madison Flynn has been haunted by visions of the Smiling Man, a menacing figure with gaping mouths where its eyes should be. One of Madison's painted portraits of the creature is noticed by a living nightmare called the Corinthian, who comes to investigate, defying the decree that forbids him to enter the waking world. The Corinthian quickly learns that he's not the only one seeking Flynn--a pair of sadistic killers dubbed Mr. Agony and Mr. Ecstasy are also interested in meeting her, as is an eccentric billionaire who believes that accumulating a collection of evil artifacts is the key to unlocking immense power. This volume collects the first six issues of an ongoing series. VERDICT Tynion and Estherren have crafted an intriguingly mysterious thriller that evokes the distinct gothic sensibility of Gaiman's original "Sandman" series.
