From the pages of Neil Gaiman's The Sandman comes Mike Carey's epic run with the devil himself collected together in a series of hardcover omnibuses for the first time ever!

Cast out of Heaven, thrown down to rule in Hell, Lucifer Morningstar has resigned his post and abandoned his kingdom for the mortal city of Los Angeles. Emerging from the pages of writer Neil Gaiman's award-winning series The Sandman, the former Lord of Hell is now enjoying a quiet retirement as the propretor of Lux, L.A.'s most elite piano bar.

But now an assignment from the Creator Himself is going to change all that.

If Lucifer agrees to do Heaven's dirty work, he can name his own price--but both the task and reward are more than they seem. Thrown into a position of great threat and ultimate opportunity, Lucifer knows that threading a path through this maze will require the harshest of sacrifices.

Collects Sandman Presents: Lucifer #1-3, Lucifer issues #1-35 and Lucifer: Nirvana #1.
