SANDMAN One: The dreams begin!

by ComicBooker , Mar 18 '01
Pros: rich story with lots of interesting characters
Cons: none
In dreams all things are possible. All items can be obtained, all places reached, all times visited and all people met.

It's that way too in the brilliant Sandman series by Neil Gaiman, a series of stories about dreams and all they are...

The first in a phenomenal series of tales

by abuss , Oct 13 '08
Pros: Depth of narrative, imagination, sophistication of wit
Cons: Some people don't like graphic novels - they're missing out with this
Preludes and Nocturnes is the first of the eleven original Sandman volumes, although the series doesn't have to be read in order. In fact, since reading my first of Gaiman's works in 1995, I have found new things every time I paw through them. This is ...

Mr Sandman, bring me a dream...

by TazzY2J , Sep 09 '00
Pros: Dark, sinister settings.
Cons: Sometimes confusing.
I had heard about this book called The Sandman and in fact The Sandman Library. But I, for some reason, never decided to buy a copy. Probably because I was so engrossed in the blood and fun-fest that is the excellent Preacher.

But seeing as...

Only a Comic Book? NO, much More!

by neilworms , Jun 26 '01
Pros: Excellent, sometimes creepy writing, great characters, good art.
Cons: Superhero subplot, some parts better than others
I thought that Hayao Miyazaki's Nausicaä of the Valley of Wind was the greatest comic ever written, now, I am compelled to move that one down a notch for the wonderfully dark and thoughtful Sandman.

I first heard of The...

Sweet Dreams

by gookster , Sep 22 '00
Pros: The Beginning of the BEST LITERATURE EVER
Cons: People Won't Read It Simply Because It's A Comic Book
For people who don't read comics and watch cartoons, but watch the Simpsons for its Political Commentary, READ THE SANDMAN GRAPHIC NOVELS.

This is the comic book that changed my view on the medium. A year ago a friend who is an avid comic...

Start here for an incredible read!

by Karandago , Mar 16 '00
Pros: The first in a series of amazing comics.
Cons: This book is somewhat confusing and not the best sandman.
Some time around the beginning of last summer my friend handed me his copy of Preludes and Nocturnes and said "Here read this". Now I don't really know why I listened to him (happens to be the same person who handed me a copy of the first...

the Sandman: Book of Dreams is an odd collection of stories written about (but not by) Neil Gaiman's comic character the Sandman and his brothers and sisters (collectively known as the Endless). Destiny, Death, Dream, Destruction, Desire, Despair, and...
