The Sandman Universe's Latest Cover Art is Pure DC Comics Nightmare Fuel
Warning: Spoilers for Nightmare Country #1 ahead!
The gory, grotesque new Sandman Universe spin-off, Nightmare Country, is on full display in a newly released variant cover for issue #2, featuring the horrifying Corinthian originally created by Neil Gaiman. Nightmare Country knows it is nightmare fuel, even using this phrase in its first issue, and DC Comics has hired amazing artists to create artful depictions of humanity's worst fears.
Nightmare Country is the latest in a series of new comics taking place in Neil Gaiman's ever expanding Sandman Universe, and it focuses on a monster created by the original Dream, Morpheus. The Corinthian is a living nightmare, "created to be a dark mirror and tormentor of humanity," and is typically depicted in a man's body with shocking white hair and dark sunglasses. However when the sunglasses are removed is when the real nightmare created by Sandman begins, as the Corinthian has no eyes, just two sets of snarling, licking mouths in his sockets.
