Absolute Sandman Vol. 1 Review

I had come across Mr. Gaimen's works from time to time, but had never delved into the great depths of his writing until recently. I had always admired Sandman's unique covers created by reknown artist Dave McKean. McKean, like HR Giger has a style and process that make his work almost instantly recognizable. So I was alway interested in the covers of Sandman's collected issues, and found The Sandman" King of Dreams book first, which collects some of the art gives an overview of the stories arcs and character.

I then came across the Absolute Sandman Vol. 1 I ordered the book and was soon emersed in the strange horror, fantasy, nightmare, and exquisite dreamscape that Gaiman and artist et. al. had created.

This work collects the first 20 issues of the Sandman and has some insights into the development of the character and the process of creating the visuals, for "A Mid Summer Nights Dream."

This work is great for a new reader to the realm of the Dreaming, and is collected in large gloss pages for an amazing reading experience. I highly recomend it.
