AMAZING May 9, 2008
I always love Mr Gaiman;'s work. Sandman is probably his opus given the size and the eclectic nature of the themes. The Endless as interpreted by a Master like Gaiman represent an amazing world that weaves the deepest recesses of the collective consciousness, mythology, history and keep it living enough to be interesting. Aesthetically, the books are great and the artwork is just as eclectic as the are the themes. I wish I was exposed to this stuff as a kid...
Beautiful, and A Great Price July 12, 2008
First of all, I will admit that this was my first time reading the Sandman, when I got this version. I was drawn in and the $70-ish price tag is, as well as way cheaper than you'll find at book stores, a great deal. The amount of content is staggering, and even if you've read all the Sandman comics, the extras are pretty great as well.
If you're not sure if you'll enjoy the series, go out to a library and see if they have Preludes and Nocturnes, the first mini-collection, and see if this is your style. I took a plunge and just got this immediately, and it was very well worth it. Actually, I got Volumes 1 and 2, so I guess I'm really lucky I enjoyed these.
Regardless, Sandman contains some of the best fantasy stories I've ever read, and Neil Gaiman is a genius that has it shining through in these stories.
