DescriptionSandman Presents: Petrefax is a comic miniseries, dealing with an adventure of Petrefax, former Prentice from the Necropolis Litharge, now a Journeyman, in the land of Malegrise, where everyone is potentially a sorcerer. He encounters Lady Calcinia, who wishes not to marry Lord Bulgus, a powerful member of the Consistory, a court of sorcerers. Issue 1: WRITTEN BY MIKE CAREY; ILLUSTRATED BY STEVE LEIALOHA; COVER BY PASCAL ALIXE. The popular SANDMAN PRESENTS line ? based on characters and concepts from THE SANDMAN ? expands into untraveled worlds of magic with SANDMAN PRESENTS: PETREFAX. This 4-issue VERTIGO miniseries showcases Petrefax, the young undertaker from the WORLDS' END storyline, as he strikes out from the Necropolis in search of journeyman work ? only to find he's got a full-time job just staying alive! Written by Mike Carey (SANDMAN PRESENTS: LUCIFER) with stunning, intricate art by Steve Leialoha (NEVADA) and beautiful covers by Pascal Alixe (THE BATMAN CHRONICLES, GEN13), PETREFAX takes us to Malegrise, a land with the look of 18th-century England and a culture of magic all its own, where nearly every citizen is a sorcerer. When the beautiful, stubborn Calcinia Smith tries to escape a forced marriage by using gypsy magic to feign her death, she becomes trapped in a physical limbo ? her soul intact, but her body dead and deteriorating fast. Hired to embalm her, Petrefax is now the only one who knows her secret ? and the only one who can keep her "alive" with his skills. Pulled into Calcinia's cross-country quest to escape her fate, Petrefax must contend with supernatural monsters, bigoted aristocrats, and the sorcerous wrath of her jilted groom in a rousing tale that finds humanity in magic, and humor in the trappings of death. Issue 2: WRITTEN BY MIKE CAREY; ILLUSTRATED BY STEVE LEIALOHA; COVER BY PASCAL ALIXE. The stunning miniseries based on the character from THE SANDMAN: WORLDS' END continues. He's just narrowly escaped hanging for feigning a funeral, but now Petrefax finds himself in an even more precarious situation. Caught in a battle of magical intrigue among a family of clever Gypsies, a homicidally jealous sorcerer, and the mage's intended bride (who's both the most beautiful woman Petrefax has ever seen as well as one of the walking dead), how will our young undertaker escape unscathed? Issue 3 and 4: WRITTEN BY MIKE CAREY; ILLUSTRATED BY STEVE LEIALOHA; COVER BY PASCAL ALIXE. The stunning miniseries based on the character from THE SANDMAN: WORLDS' END continues. Separated from the beautiful Calcinia by the magical wiles of her jealous would-be groom Lord Bulgus, Petrefax continues alone on the quest to find a wizard who can literally save Calcinia's soul. But Bulgus has laid a deadly roadblock in the young undertaker's path. ShippingEconomy shipping provided.
