[QUOTE="Villano, post: 802884, member: 505"] Well, that particular series is in a box beneath other comic boxes in my closet, so I couldn't dig it out. However, looking through my records, it says 70 issues (and I have the complete run). Also, I have one annual, but I don't know if there were any more than that since I usually don't collect annuals. I also have something called Sandman Midnight Theatre #1 (a one-shot as far as I know). I might be mistaking this for the annual, but I think the story on this one goes something like this: In DC continuity, they explained that a sorcerer tried to capture death but caught Morpheus, the god-like Sandman, instead. This wizard kept him held prisoner for many years. I forget how long and why DC did this (it was some kind of continuity fix, if I'm not mistaken). Anyway, the golden-age Sandman, the human detective, was investigating a case and stumbled upon the real Sandman held in some kind of large, glass container. Their meeting was just a one-panel scene, but it was the whole reason for the comic. It's a real shame Mystery Theatre was cancelled. It was one of my favorites. Actually, nearly everytime I call a series "one of my favorites", they either cancell it or change the creative team. Legion Of Superheroes Legion (goes hand-in-hand with Legion Of Superheroes) Sandman Mystery Theatre Manhunter (the late '80s series about the bounty hunter) X-Men (Claremont fired) The Hulk (Which got bad when Marvel did that alternate universe with relaunchings of Fantastic Four, The Avengers, Captain America, and Iron Man. Liefeld got Avengers and Cap, and Jim Lee got the other two. While the Hulk's series sayed in the regular universe, the screwed with the whole comic, throwing the stories way off. Plus the art really sucked). I'm not sure if there was a writer change before Spidey entered the Clone Saga, so that my be one of the few exceptions to my jinx streak (I actually dropped it just prior to that story when Peter Parker's parents came back from the dead...yes, I could see the horror coming when this idea readed it's ugly head).
