The 40 Years of Comics Project - Day 1132: Sandman Mystery Theatre #12, March 1994

https://www.comics.org/issue/54691/

I will try to be a bit more verbose.

Punishments are meted out but, as usual, it is the survivors whose punishment is unending, rather than the mercy that is death. That sounds very much like something the Sandman, Mr. Dodds that is, would say. Which might say something about how much this series is getting under my skin. It's very good.

Matt Wagner promised to look into social ills in this series, and he's not shy about showing some of the worst. It's sad that a series set in the 30s had so much resonance in the 90s, and continues to do so in the second decade of the 21st century.

More to come...
