When he was invited to write a comic for DC, Neil Gaiman reached deep to write about a little known character, Sandman. Preludes and Nocturnes is the compilation of the first eight issues in which Sandman is captured, eventually breaking free decades later, and then sets out to recover the trappings...
Sometimes words alone cannot contain Neil Gaiman’s creativity. This collection that begins the series of THE SANDMAN is a brilliant start to something magical. The idea alone is a standout, unique concept: to capture death, but end up capturing the dream maker instead. Wow. The story ramps up from t...
I have been wanting to read this one for a long time, and finally it came back in at the library. Of course I grabbed it, and this was my last finished book of 2013. I've been reading Neil Gaiman for about two years, and I consider myself a pretty healthy fan of his work. This first installment show...

Besides a wrongly chosen hardback book of Beautiful Creatures, I have never read a graphic novel. I have deemed this my first, and it was glorious.I loved it.So much so that I am endeavouring ways to get a hold of The Absolute Sandman novels without having to pay $500 to do so.You will be mine...
Okay, I now get it. Gaiman's good! Quite the start to the Sandman series. My favorite scene is the face-off between Choronzon and Dream in Hell:"I am anti-life, the beast of judgement. I am the dark at the end of everything. The end of universes, Gods, worlds... of everything. And what will you be t...
"Preludes and Nocturnes" consisted of several volumes of The Sandman, one of Neil Gaiman's earlier works about Morpheus or Dream who have been released after 70 years of imprisonment only to found out that in his absence his world was heavily eroded and that he had lost his objects of power. The vol...
I did NOT like this book. Yes, Neil Gaiman is an amazingly original author whom I normally adore and the comic is well-drawn & executed BUT this does not make up for the sickening horror of so much of the book in the style of Palahnuik’s put-this-author-on-anti-psychotic’s Haunted. The only reason ...
Deliciously dark, beautiful art and twisted characters. I've waited so, so long to be able to read this in book form and it really did not disappoint. The Sandman is a complex character, and the "Lord of Dreams" aspect allows for an element of surreality that I often miss in literature, both in comi...
