Perhaps the best so far, this is the family drama volume. Delirium is sheer visual pleasure and a contrast to the always somber Morpheus. More back story on Morpheus and Orpheus; much loss and sadness, well-portrayed and emotionally deep.
Genre: Supernatural / Adventure / Fantasy Year Published: 1993 Year Read: 2012 Series: The Sandman #7 Publisher: Vertigo Comics After reading the sixth volume of Neil Gaiman’s famous “Sandman” series, I just had to keep reading more and more of this fantastic series! For the past six volumes...
