Critique About Books The Absolute Sandman, Volume One (The Absolute Sandman #One)

When I first started reading Sandman, which was after I was introduced to Neil Gaiman through American Gods and Stardust, I had to interlibrary loan each volume, meaning (since I wanted to be able to keep track of them and ensure the loaning library got the books back in a timely fashion) I had to wait at least three weeks between volumes. It stretched out the time it took to read the entirety of the series to - well, quite a long time. But waiting for each one was sweet. I liked the

Neil Gaiman's series definitely gets better as it goes along. Once he tells his initial stories, Gaiman starts to get the hang of the character and this universe - primarily by freeing virtually any boundary of storytelling, akin to The Twilight Zone and other anthology series. The initial storyline of Dream's capture and subsequent mini-quest to regain his missing tools of power is a pretty good start to the series, and an unusual way to introduce the main character, by showing him at his most

I'm a Gaiman fan, and I got this for Christmas '06. It was my first real introduction to graphic novels, (or as Mr. Neil still calls them: comic books.) I've branched out since then, but this is such an unbelievable body of work, compelling storyline, extraordinarily riveting artwork... If you haven't discovered the Sandman, what are you waiting for?

Collects Issue 1-20 of Sandman:In the course of my life I have come across certain things from art to a classic book that are masterfully done. Neil Gaiman's Sandman is one of those things. It is many things all at once. Some parts of it, especially near the beginning , seem to be of a Gothic horror nature ,yet, in the middle part of the volume there is a shift towards a fantasy based romp through a dreamworld. It is a testament to Mr. Gaiman's staggering imagination.The story centers on Dream,
