Absolute Sandman Volume One

Product Information

Among his numerous literary awards are the Newbery and Carnegie medals, and the Hugo, Nebula, World Fantasy, and Will Eisner awards. He stalks through the scenes, he's an arrogant and powerful prince and he doesn't hurry even when he's in a hurry. Deluxe Editions: Books 1-5 collect the original series, Midnight Theatre, Endless Nights, and both versions of Dream Hunters. These new Vertigo books are just young folks trying to copy what came before, and Vertigo, once an experimental art house for new creators, has become a blandly profitable branch of the company which produces safe, familiar books. Check out this link, look at the Volume 2 covers, but try to imagine them without the distracting titles and logos, they're even more stunning in this book without all of that.

This volume also includes a full reproduction of Gaiman's original proposal for the series and the complete script and pencils by Gaiman and Charles Vess for the World Fantasy Award-winning story "A Midsummer Night's Dream" from The Sandman 19.

If this first Volume is any indication on what to expect from the future ones, then I know I’m in for one hell of a ride.

The final part of the book is dedicated to the making-of the comic, and is really an excellent read.

While I've been aware of the Sandman series for over a decade now it never really grabbed me to read it until this year.
