Sandman: The Dream Hunters by Neil Gaiman, art by Yoshitaka Amano, 144 pages
Published 10 years after the original series concluded, this Sandman book isn't part of the official comics series — but it's a key example of "related work." Told in prose and accompanied by striking artwork, this story retells a Japanese fairy tale about a monk, a fox, and murder-through-dreams. It's lovely, wonderfully told, and is as accessible to newcomers to the story as it is to Sandman aficionados. Well worth a read, if you haven't read it yet.
