Where it came from
Published in 1990 by DC Comics under the Vertigo imprint, The Sandman #20 serves as the first chapter of the acclaimed 'Season of Mists' story arc. Written by Neil Gaiman with interior art by Kelley Jones and Malcolm Jones III, the issue marks a pivotal expansion of the series' mythology by bringing Morpheus to Hell to confront Lucifer. This arc was designed to elevate the scope of Gaiman's narrative, transitioning from gothic horror into a complex, multi-layered epic that explores themes of responsibility and change.
The visual direction of this issue is noted for Kelley Jones’s distinctive, atmospheric ink work, which helped define the dark, surreal aesthetic that became a hallmark of the series. Upon release, the arc was met with significant critical praise for its ambitious world-building and character development. It is widely regarded as a watershed moment for the series, cementing its place in the literary comic movement of the early 1990s and setting the stage for the wider Vertigo line's influence on mature-readers storytelling.
