This trade collects Superman stories (colored in red and  blue) by some of today's top creators. After a couple of failed attempts DL wasn't sure if this series would ever get collected, but Sandman Mystery Theatre Compendium vol. 1 is here! The first half of Matt Wagner, Steven T. Seagle and Guy Davis' story of Wesley Dodds' The Sandman is finally available! Also on this episode Scott talks about Grady Hendrix's Paperbacks From Hell! Check it out!
