  Pagina 110: la famosa copertina di Brief Lives:

  ricordata così da Neil Gaiman:

  "When I wrote Sandman Dave was my best and sharpest critic. He painted, built, or constructed every Sandman cover, and his was the face Sandman presented to the world.

  ... remembering Arcimbaldo and Josh Kirby's old Alfred Hitchcock paperback cover paintings, suggesting to him that the cover of Sandman: Brief Lives could be a face made up of faces. This was before Dave owned a computer, and he laboriously photographed and painted a head made of smaller faces. He's been asked to do similar covers many times since by art directors. And so have other artists. I wonder if they know where it came from."

  Le altre copertine non sono da meno, ma questa in particolare è per me il manifesto del genio di Dave McKean.
