A mugger in Central Park, back when this was uncommon. Wesley Dodds sees
him in broad daylight, and that night, the Sandman begins to search for
him. The plot isn't as terrible as the regular series, perhaps due to
the single-book nature dissuading the writers from telegraphing the
answer issues ahead. It is, however, still Batman in long coats, and has
no place in Vertigo. The art is better than usual, due to Guy Davis
being relegated to only two of the nine chapters. His work, and that of
George Pratt, is the worst of those here, and suffers visibly when
compared to that of David Lloyd, John Bolton, Alex Ross or Peter
Snejbjerg. Worth picking up, if only for the art (Alex Ross!
Yaaaay!)
