Running from 1994-2000 with an array of artistic talent collaborating with Morrison (and letterers Clem Robins & Todd Klein), the influential comic book series (if you can summarize it in a sentence) focuses on the freedom fighters of The Invisible College as they wage their secret war against humanity's oppressors, interdimensional alien gods otherwise known as the Archons of the Outer Church.

They came out mostly in the '90s, little of 2000s sometimes, or late '80s, and they revolutionized comics, and they, of course, spawned a thousand other titles who were inspired by them. Speaking with ahead of the premiere of The Sandman, Mitchell explained that the way Gaiman approaches myths, legends, and lore and applies them in humanistic ways is one of the things that sets him apart from other fantasy authors.
