Wesley Dodds is the first hero to carry the name Sandman. Dodds must get it back before the world plunges into darkness. He also believes in the concept of “ humane warfare.” To this end, Dodds has created a special “ sleeping gas,” diligently documenting its creation in a special journal–and now that journal, complete with all its dark secrets, has fallen into the wrong hands. However, Dodds has not given up on other people, believing they will do the right thing if given the right tools and circumstances. Written by Robert Venditti and drawn by Riley Rossmo, the book casts Dodds as a “ pacifist,” albeit one who has given up on dreams of a peaceful world.
