The Sandman Vol. 1: Preludes and Nocturnes by Neil GaimanMy review
rating: 4 of 5 stars
I stopped buying monthly comics around the time that Alan Moore finished writing Swamp Thing, so the initial run of Sandman by Neil Gaiman passed me by. I've been slowly working my way through the collected editions to rectify that omission, and enjoying it hugely.
This first volume is a little shaky in places, with references to some highly obscure characters from the DC universe, but it all starts falling nicely into place with a story featuring Death in the person of a young woman with a penchant for gothic fashion going about her business of claiming dead souls with no particular fuss or drama.

OOOH, I totally *heart* Sandman! I have all of them, even "Dream Hunters" and "Endless Nights", and I have a Sandman collectible figurine and a Sandman playset with Baku and a dream orb and did you know "Coraline" opens 6 February and - er, oh, excuse me, I AM sorry. I get carried away sometimes, particularly with Gaiman involved.
