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 things. I didn't really read the product description here, just saw Sandman vol 1 and that the 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.

Greatest graphic novel series of all time and the BOOK ONE-FOUR set is the best way to own it without breaking the bank or your wrist trying to read the omnibus editions. Definitely worth buying.

Its perfect :)

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.

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.

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.

What can be said about Sandman that hasn't been said a million times? I love this series and this larger graphic novel version is gorgeous. I highly recommend. Story 10/10 Art 10/10

Muy buen libro! Ha sido un regalo, me pedí otro!

BUENA CALIDAD DE HISTORIA Y ARTE

I have heard so much about Neil Gaiman's "The Sandman" graphic novels that I finally decided to pick up Book 1. I must say it lived up to my lofty expectations. Imaginative, original stories (it is incredibly hard for one to come across stories that are truly novel these days ... but "The Sandman" is indeed an impressive and creative work of art!) and fantastic artwork ... what's there not to like? I quickly placed orders for Books 2–4 (so as to have the entire original series which ran from 1988 to 1996, spanning issues #1–75) together with "The Sandman: Overture" (which revolves around events prior to the original series). In my opinion, the cover art for Book 1 is the most attractive among the four volumes. As others have observed, issue #8 is a pivotal point for the series. The series takes on a surer footing and different character from this point forth. At this point, I do not see myself collecting the other issues that are spin-offs from the original 1988–1996 series. Past experiences tell me that the original creative effort is, by far, the best. Past experiences also reveal that subsequent efforts are usually attempts to milk the readers. But we will see ... never say never! Lastly, this four-volume, 2022-edition is the best choice price-wise compared to the 30th anniversary edition which spans 10 volumes (this makes it more expensive to purchase).

Good comics

I bought it used and it arrived in excellent condition, thank you.
