Product Information

While recolouring classic material can sometimes be a mix-bag, you don’t need to worry about it with The Sandman. It’s mostly faithful to the original, with a few improvements that are not distracting.) Various film and television versions of Sandman have been developed.

In arguably one of the greatest achievements in serialized modern comic books, writer Neil Gaiman crafted the seventy-five-issue ongoing series The Sandman, introducing its readers to a complex world of horror and fantasy.The first volume was nominated for the 2012 Bram Stoker Award for Best Non-Fiction. [74] Omnibus edition [ edit ] The Sandman was written and set between 1988 and 1996, and was undoubtedly informed by contemporary events like the AIDS epidemic in America and England. Its treatment of queer people as sympathetic victims, rather than deserving ones, can be seen as progressive in its time. In that context, it’s perhaps easier to dismiss the comic’s use of homophobic statements as villainous chatter, easier to file its depiction of queer lives as often brutish and short under the umbrella of “contemporary realism.” Take the character of Judy, a doomed lesbian woman on the outs with her girlfriend, who appears in one issue only. Did we need to keep the detail that the first queer couple in the story is physically abusive? Did we need the multiple fleeting, florid references to the brutalization of queer, underage, male sex workers? Did we need to create an audioscape of a man “nervously” raping the muse Calliope? Or to painstakingly, without edits, retell the plot-inessential one-shot story “Facade” — the moral of which can be read as “Suicide isn’t tragic if you’re freakish enough”? And could we have taken a second look, perhaps, at the suggestion that “it” is just as appropriate a pronoun as “he,” “she,” or “they” for Dream’s genderfluid sibling, Desire?
