The Sandman Book One

I ordered 3 copies of this for a "favorites party" my wife was throwing; the idea is you get together with friends and bring 3 copies of one of your favorite things, and then everyone does like a dirty santa style exchange and walks away from the party with 3 different things that are their friends' favorite thigns.I didn't really read the product description here, jsut say Sandman vol 1 and that he price fit under the party limit, and I ordered them. I fully expected copies of the old vol 1 TPB that only has the first story arch in it- like 6 issues. Imagine my surprised when this monster arrives with the first 3 story arcs, 20 issues- this is less than $1 per comic! Absolutely bonkers!Now, I'm not going to buy the rest of this edition, because I have the Absolute Editions on my shelf, but I think there's a very good chance my 3 friends will want to continue this series and will be picking up the rest.All that talk about this particular edition out of the way, as you can guess, I believe Sandman is one of the greatest comics ever produced. It's a beautiful story, rich in imagination and poetry and art. If you've never read it, buy this version (again, less than $1 per comic, CRAZY) and dive right in.

I know the seller listed stains on the cover but there was none, it is in perfection condition and no stains or scratches.

This was a great comic with amazing concepts. And it has the envious title of having an almost picture perfect adaptation as the TV series. Favorite characters are Death and the Corinthian.

Neil re-wrote the rules for comics with this one, and left an indelible impression on the format.

The overall finish on this book is great, very high quality

What else can someone can say about the Sandman that hasn't been said?It's very good; with well written stories, great cast and excellent artwork (now recolorized by the way).Pick this one up and see if it is your cup of tea, you won't regret it.Also if you can, pick the audible too. The order is altered and there are some changes for modern sensibilities that I don't fully appreciate, but it is worth it nevertheless.

I love the book, it has absolutely incredible art work and I've truly been appreciating reading it while comparing it to the show on Netflix. The book did come with slight damage on the back but it personally didn't bother me. And the book was soooo much bigger than I expected.

This was the first DC comic that I can actually say that I enjoyed. The stories were interesting and engaging and I never felt bored at any point reading them. I also got the audible which I listened to when I was reading...So good. I totally recommend..Best part Midsummer Nights Dream...
