far beyond a broken heart, and Frankie and Jeriven will both have
to do some fast growing-up if they’re going to survive. This collection

Written by Matt Wagner
Art by John Watkiss & R.G. Taylor
Cover by Gavin Wilson & Richard Bruning
Collecting
the second and third story arcs (issues #5-12) from writer Matt
Wagner's acclaimed reimagination of the original Golden Age Sandman,
SANDMAN MYSTERY THEATRE VOL. 2: THE FACE AND THE BRUTE finds the
Sandman of 1939, Wesley Dodds, and his possible paramour (and narrator)
Dian Belmont involved in a series of grisly murders in New York's
Chinatown — murders that threaten to reignite the bad old days of
the Tong Wars, when blood ran in the streets like water. Following
the drama of "The Face," Wesley and Dian are confronted
with corruption at the other end of the social scale in "The
Brute," as they track down the trail of misery left by a man
whose gross sensual appetites for lust and violence are rivaled
only by his wealth.
