"His omniscience only works because there are no alternatives. But I have conceived of a revolution that may surprise even Him."

Stepping out of the pages of Neil Gaiman's The Sandman, the Fallen One begins his own epic journey in this first of two oversize omnibus collections featuring Mike Carey's acclaimed, Eisner Award-nominated series. Since resigning his throne and abandoning his kingdom, Lucifer Morningstar has filled his days supervising a considerably reduced staff at Lux, Los Angeles' most elite piano bar. The arrival of a once-in-an-eternity job offer, however, is about to put an end to his quiet retirement. The contract comes straight from the Creator Himself, and if Lucifer successfully completes his task, the former lord of Hell can name his own price. But negotiating this particular razor's edge between opportunity and catastrophe will require all of his legendary subtlety and will--and no small amount of sacrifice. For his part, the Lightbringer is prepared to risk everything to win the power of Heaven's reward. The Devil's hands have been idle long enough.

Lucifer Omnibus Vol. 1 collects The Sandman Presents: Lucifer #1-3, Lucifer #1-35, and Lucifer: Nirvana #1 with a foreword by Neil Gaiman and an introduction by Mike Carey, along with an extensive gallery of never-before-seen art from the making of the series.

Praise for Lucifer Omnibus Vol. 1 (The Sandman Universe Classics)

"Carey treats readers to biblical detectives, corrupted cherubs, vengeful Japanese deities, and celestial palaces. Much like Gaiman, he's a master of transformative appropriation, forever shaping new narrative pantheons from the mashed-up bits of old myths. Hard to put down, the results are inventive and smart, but they're also pulpy fun."--Slate

"A work of genius in the dark fantasy genre." --Comics International

"Mike Carey's Lucifer is even more manipulative, charming and dangerous than I ever could have hoped." --Neil Gaiman

"A grand epic tale in the tradition of [The] Sandman or Preacher, with a creative team that ranks among Vertigo's finest."--The Fourth Rail
