Here is the synopsis of the first volume if you don't know The Sandman:

In "Preludes and Nocturnes", the first cycle of stories by Sandman, an occultist tries to capture Death to obtain eternal life, but by mistake he evokes his younger brother, Dream. After 70 years of cruel imprisonment and a daring escape, the King of Dreams, also known as Morpheus, begins a journey to recover some magical objects related to his mystical powers. During this incredible adventure Morpheus will meet Lucifer, John Constantine and a decidedly dangerous madman. At the end of the volume, you will find "The flapping of its wings", with the debut of Death, a very sweet girl whom, sooner or later, we will all have to know.
