Item Description
DC. Editorial Variant. First appearance of Death. Karen Berger editorial. Neil Gaiman story. Dave McKean cover. Mike Dringenberg and Malcolm Jones III art. White pages. Sandman #8 was first planned with an introduction by Karen Berger entitled "The Stuff that Dreams are made of..." on the inside front cover and a next issue teaser on the inside back cover. However, according to CBG (Feb 9, 1990), DC decided not to use these and instead went for a main print run with a Jenette Kahn "Publishorial" on the inside front cover and an American Cancer Society ad on the inside back cover but, unfortunately, DC omitted the copyright info with the revisions. DC then allegedly asked the printer to print the requisite five copies required for copyright using the original Karen Berger introduction. Then for whatever reason, the printer produced 600 comics instead of five and sent these to DC.
