Just the second issue to have Sandman on the cover. Bob Kane, the creator of Batman, helped with the interior artwork. This issue has been designated a Gerber "7", and it really is. It may take you years to find another one even in this grade!! Just three issues grade higher, and only one of them is above 7.0 (of course, it is the Mile High copy, which is in a class all by itself)!
