Synopsis
Writer Matt Wagner continues his masterly exploration of the pulp detective genre with this latest chapter in the life of Wesley Dodds, a man driven by his dreams to fight injustice in the dark of night, who dons a gas mask, fedora, business suit and cape to pursue evildoers as the vigilante known only as The Sandman.
This volume follows Wesley Dodds on two chilling new cases. In "The Hourman," the Sandman draws his attention to an unusual private detective that advertises his services as "The Man of the Hour" and leaves felons hospitalized. "The Python" features The Sandman's hunt for a mysterious strangler whose victims are left tongue-tied for good.

From Booklist
In these two stories from the pulp-inspired spinoff of Neil Gaiman's Sandman, millionaire socialite Wesley Dodds, in his trenchcoat-garbed guise of the Sandman, tracks down two grisly serial murderers in 1930s Manhattan. Dr. Death is a self-styled mercy killer who dispatches past-their-prime public figures, and the Butcher is a possibly cannibalistic maniac who leaves parts of corpses throughout the city. Meanwhile, Wesley's relationship with Dian Belmont reaches a crucial juncture when she learns of his nocturnal crime fighting. Writers Wagner and Seagle provide a sophisticated, R-rated update of crude-but-potent thirties pulp fiction, and artist Guy Davis expertly evokes the pen-and-ink accoutrements of those slam-bang stories.
