You can check out tattoos, fan art, and discussions on the series over on r/sandman. I'm really looking forward to it, but I highly recommend reading the books before the series comes out because I think it's going to be a hit!ĮTA2: As a side note, I'm planning on a Sandman sleeve very soon, which will mainly be Delirium art.

I really can't recommend it enough, and I hope you love it, too.ĮTA: Netflix just started shooting a Sandman series. Gaiman also did a fantastic audiobook of the series that's so much fun to follow along with on Audible. It's a truly immersive experience, and I think it would appeal to nearly everyone (any age, race, religion, etc.) on some level.ĭo yourself a favor and either buy the first trade paperback (titled Preludes and Nocturnes) or check it out at your local library. You feel the characters strike a deep chord within you, and they become so familiar, they feel almost like family in the end. The art style, which changes throughout the books, is dynamic and fantastic. The series draws on so many things for inspiration: older works of literature, modern comic books, religion, mythology, folklore, and history. And after it all, while working for a small, family-owned comic book company years ago, I started reading Gaiman's 'Sandman' and found it to be the best thing I had ever read. In short, I've read more books than I can count or even remember sometimes. I went on to get my Masters of Library Science. This first book collecting Neil Gaiman's genre-defining series about the Dream King.

In college, I double majored in English Literature and Creative Writing (with a concentration in fiction). The series is a rich blend of modern and ancient mythology in which contemporary fiction, historical drama, and legend are seamlessly interwoven.
