Enter Sandman

Sandman. By far one of the most creative stories I have ever read. It's a comic written by Neil Gaiman and illustrated intially by Sam Keith.

Where to start? The stories are utterly bizarre and fantastic, with a smattering of horror. Let's put it this way, it's unique. The series lasted 75 issues, and has been collected in a series of Trade Paperbacks, or Hardcovers ($$).

The first set is called Preludes and Nocturnes. THe story is about man who is obssessed with capturing the physical manifestation of Death, but, instead captures Dream. This is one of the few books I constantly tell people to read, next to Hyperion. Posted by Picasa
