Hmmm...A Tale As Old As MeI borrowed an electronic version from the library. I've heard so many fantastic things about this series that I just had to try it out. I've read other of Gaiman's work but I'm not an invested fangirl by any means. The foreword and afterwords were extremely helpful for cont...

There really is not much to say besides how much I loved this graphic novel from beginning to end. I am glad that I just went and bought the first three novels. My library didn't have this copy, but also the one I read (volume 2) was much older and with these new editions I bought, I can see a lot e...

Turns out I remembered next to nothing of this volume from when I last read it over ten years ago. Go figure. Still liked it though. The story got me in an unexplicably deep and almost maudlin mood. Dare I say my thoughts started spiraling in the way of an existential mini-freakout. Dangerous things...

Like much of Gaiman's fiction, the first volume of Sandman goes to some dark places, draws heavily on minor and unsung bits of myth and legend (in this case, the old folk figure of the Sandman, who gets lumped together with the minor Greek god Morpheus), and is just very vaguely - almost unknowingly...

I gave this 3 stars today with the full knowledge that I very well might come back and add another one later - because it isn't the book itself that held me back. This was my very first foray into the world of graphic novels and comic books, and while this book was beautiful, it left me feeling like...

*Book source ~ Library From Goodreads: In 1916, Dream is captured and encased in a glass globe in a failed attempt by a fictional Edwardian magician (very much in the vein of Aleister Crowley) named Roderick Burgess to bind Death and attain immortality. Dream bides his time for decades until Burge...

Repaso de todos los volúmenes en esta entrada.4.5 Stars: This was my first time reading a story by Neil Gaiman and it really impressed me. I didn't understand what the f*ck I was reading at first I'm dumb, I know but once I got used to the surreal style of the artwork I couldn't put it down, the ide...

I'm not going to repeat myself for every issue, but this is possibly the best graphic novel series ever written. My first experience was the second issue, which still holds a special place in my heart. Great artwork, deep and philosophical plot lines and the most twisted thing that Gaiman has ever...
