Yoshitaka Aman...

Parts of it reminded me o...

4.0 Sandman The Dream Hunters SC
This is more of an illustrated story than a graphic novel. Amano's artwork and the Japanese aesthetic rein in Gaiman's excessive tendency to throw in the kitchen sink, in this telling, retelling actually, of the story of the fox and the monk. The story is wonderful and the artwork even more so. ...
