Preludes and Nocturnes collects the first eight issues of The Sandman comic by Neil Gaiman published by DC Vertigo.

The series centers on Morpheus (Dream of the Endless). Dream is imprisoned for decades by an occultist seeking immortality.

Upon escaping, he must reclaim his objects of power while still in a weakened state, confronting an addict to his dream powder, the legions of Hell, and an all-powerful madman (Doctor Destiny) in the process.

Went back and re-read this after watching the Netflix series. I think I enjoyed it more this time as watching the show helps to clarify a few things in the story. An excellent read, particularly when you factor in that this may be the weakest book of the series. I say that also as someone who very rarely reads graphic novels.
