With a full 104 Sunday pages this time around, this particular book is jam packed with little room for extras, but we did squeeze in a half-dozen or so pages' worth of never-before-seen Herriman memorabilia (all in color), including a spectacular full-color New Year's card illustration done for a friend.

    Only one thing stands between our vulnerable human minds and their terrifying wrath: the existence of "dreamkeepers," creatures whose very life force serves to protect us from the Nightmare horde. But this protection, this bond, is only effective as long as one's dreamkeeper lives -- a condition the Nightmares are all too eager to exploit.
