Sandman


Sandman was a comic in DC's Vertigo imprint that ran from 1988 to 1996. There were 75 issues. I recently read all of them. The art goes from not very good to fucking spectacular and the righting is amazing. It is not a superhero comic but it deals very heavily in myth. Neil Gaiman really surprised me. I read Neverwhere. I had to. It really sucked—I think I can say that objectively. But this goes so far beyond archetypes and is able to really explore characters that you never thought you would like or hate so much. From the man who never dies, to the 7 Big-D Endless family members, or even Lucifer, there are some remarkable entities here. Sandman gets two dreamy thumbs up. Check out some more pictures I've got for you here.
