Sandman Comics in general

The Sandman is a collection of graphic novels that deal with the nature of Reality and duty. It begins with the accidental entrapment of Dream, by occultists who were actually trying to capture his big sister, Death. It shows how Dream is slowly changing, and reveals more and more of him and his realm, through stories that are connected sometimes only by a vague dream logic. It introduces intriguing characters and an overarching story that is fantastic in its complexity. The best thing about Sandman, though, is how no matter how many times you reread it, eah time you notice something new that changes how you respond to everything you read. Gaiman's creation is so complex, and real that it touches everyone who reads it.

They center around The Endless, a group of seven immortal beings who watch the fate of mankind unfold. Death, Fate, Dream, Desire, Despair, Delerium or maybe that was just another name for Delight, OK I'm going to have to admit that I ...  Read the complete review

The Sandman graphic novels are unusual in that they aer one of the few series to attract a significant number of female readers. I am one of those female readers, and have been saving my pennies to by copies since my teens. Gaiman is a fantastic writer and a great hero of mine. His wonderful, dark wit and his vast knowledge of mythology mixed with a fertil imagination, leads to some of the greates writing you could hope to find in a graphic novel. His characters are rounded, his plots strange and intruiging. It is also true that there aren't too many ludicrously endowed females in scanty costumes. A littl detail then. The Sandman, Dream,or Morpheus as he is ...  Read the complete review

Sandman is a 75 issue comic book, available as a set of 10 collections, written by Neil Gaiman, and illustrated by a number of artists. There is also an illustrated prose book (The Dream Hunters), written by Neil Gaiman, as well as a collection of short stories set in the world of the sandman, not written by Neil Gaiman. This opinion focusses on the body of work created by Neil Gaiman. Originally envisaged as a horror story, to follow on from the successes of Swamp Thing (written by Alan Moore) and Hellblazer (written by Jamie Delano and itself a spin off from Swamp Thing), the Sandman quickly changed step, becoming more lyrical and fantasy based. ...  Read the complete review
