The Absolute Sandman Vol. 1

The Absolute Sandman

If you are not familiar with Neil Gaiman, now is the time to jump on board and read some of his greatest work. The Sandman is a classic comic written by Neil Gaiman, who has gone on to write novels, and other rich media.

According to Amazon,

THE SANDMAN, written by New York Times bestselling author Neil Gaiman, was the most acclaimed comic book title of the 1990s. A rich blend of modern myth and dark fantasy in which contemporary fiction, historical drama and legend are seamlessly interwoven, THE SANDMAN is also widely considered one of the most original and artistically ambitious series of the modern age. By the time it concluded in 1996, it had made significant contributions to the artistic maturity of comic books and become a pop culture phenomenon in its own right.Now, DC Comics is proud to present this comics classic in an all-new Absolute Edition format. The first of four beautifully designed slipcased volumes, THE ABSOLUTE SANDMAN VOL. 1 collects issues 1-20 of The Sandman and features completely new coloring, approved by the author, on the first 18 issues, as well as a host of never-before-seen extra material, including the complete original Sandman Proposal, a gallery of character designs from Gaiman and the artists who originated the look of the Sandman, and the original script to the World Fantasy Award-winning THE SANDMAN #19, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” together with reproductions of the issue’s original pencils by Charles Vess. Also included are a new introduction by DC’s president Paul Levitz and a new afterword by Gaiman.

Neil Gaiman’s Sandman Series is an amazing, breath taking story, with the most beautiful artwork that comic book fans might have missed the first time around. If you haven’t noticed, the interiors to Neil Gaiman’s books are incredible, and are not filled with photoshop gradients and lackluster artwork.

The complete Sandman Vol. 1 is available right now and you owe it to yourself to pick up a copy. You’re NOT going to be saddened or filled with regret on this incredible set of Sandman! If you are a comic book fan, get this, or forever just be a noob. Buy it here, and save a few bucks and get free shipping while you’re at it.

    I absolutely LOVE the Sandman series! I borrowed them all at the school library (surprising that they actually had them!) when I was 17. I might have missed a few books but one day I will start from the begining and read them all over again!
    I need to get a copy of that new one! :)

    it’s definitely my favorite of all time.

    I don’t see a lot of creative comics coming close to this.
