![]() ![]() (NOTE: There will be mild spoilers for the first 20 issues/three volumes of The Sandman.)Ī rich blend of modern myth and dark fantasy in which contemporary fiction, historical drama and legend are seamlessly interwoven, THE SANDMAN follows the people and places affected by Morpheus, the Dream King, as he mends the cosmic–and human–mistakes he’s made during his vast existence. ![]() ![]() The Sandman is a great series and it’s impressive how much of its magic is present in these first twenty issues. In short, they still hold up remarkably well, even if parts of them haven’t aged the best. So, in light of the imminent release of Audible’s audio adaptation of the series, I felt it a good time to go back to those first few volumes (those that are being adapted for the series) and take a look at how they read seven years after I first read them. It’s one of those series that has remained popular over the 30 years since it first debuted – and for good reason. ![]() The series is as much a story about Morpheus, the Lord of Dreams, and his other siblings as it is about stories, themselves. It felt like this beautiful mixture of traditional prose literature and graphic novels and it was something I hadn’t seen in any of the comics I’d read to that point. From the first time I read Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman in 2013, I adored the series. ![]()
