The Books of Magic Omnibus Vol. 1
Part of the DC Omnibus guide — every release, in reading order
A collection of the Sandman Universe like you've never seen before - from Neil Gaiman's orginal ground breaking Books of Magic mini-series, though the worlds he inspired that followed!
What do two dead boys and a normal 13-year-old have in common? The ability to save the world.
Charles and Edwin are dead. They're also detectives.
Tim Hunter is alive. He could be the world's greatest mage...once he masters magic.
And that's just the beginning.
Readers can now enjoy The Books of Magic #1-32, The Children's Crusade #1-2, Vertigo Gallery: Dreams and Nightmares #1, Vertigo Preview #1, Vertigo Visions - Doctor Occult #1, Who's Who #15, Arcana Annual #1, Mister E #1-4, and The Books of Faerie: Auberon's Tale #1-3 all in one place!
