In-depth, informative and entertaining, The Annotated Sandman is a
fascinating look at the celebrated comic book series written by New York Times
best-selling author Neil Gaiman. The Sandman is one of the most acclaimed titles
in the history of comics. A rich blend of modern myth and dark fantasy in which
contemporary fiction, historical drama and legend are seamlessly interwoven, The
Sandman is also widely considered to be one of the most original and
artistically ambitious comic books of the modern age. By the time it concluded
in 1996, it had made significant contributions to the artistic maturity of
comics as a whole and had become a pop culture phenomenon in its own right.
Critics and readers alike agreed: The Sandman proved that comic books were not
simply a genre but were instead a rich and unique medium combining both art and
literature. Now, DC Comics is proud to present this literary classic in an
all-new Annotated Edition format. Edited with notes by Leslie S. Klinger, The
Annotated Sandman is a page-by-page, panel-by-panel journey through every
installment of The Sandman. Using the original comic book scripts and hours of
conversations with Gaiman himself, Klinger presents a wealth of commentary,
references, and hidden meanings that deepen and enrich our understanding of the
acclaimed series. This fourth volume, comprising issues #57-75, completes the
title’s original run and features an all-new set of appendices, including
a detailed chronology of the events of The Sandman and an exhaustive index of
all of its unforgettable characters.
