The first issue of the first volume of Neil Gaiman’s horror/fantasy epic! An occultist accidentally traps Morpheus, the embodiment of Dreams, and holds him for 70 years. Let’s journey through the Dreaming together this summer, shall we? And since that Netflix series debuts smack in the middle of this binge, we’ll close out our time in the world of the Endless together with some general thoughts and reflections on the transfer from page to (small) screen. This omnibus covers issues #1 – 37, as well as “The Sandman Special” #1. 1 together this summer, which I (conveniently) received as a Christmas gift this year (in case you’re wondering how else I find inspiration for my binge choices). We’ll be reading through the Sandman Omnibus Vol. With the debut of the Netflix series fast approaching, it’s the perfect time to look back at this comic for our 2022 Summer Comics Binge. It is, of course, Neil Gaiman’s “The Sandman,” the revival of the 1974-1976 DC series that ran from January 1989 to March 1996. And this summer, a long awaited television adaptation comes to Netflix. It’s been described as a “comic strip for intellectuals” and has had quite the influence over both graphic novels and fantasy novels since its debut a generation ago. It was one of the first few graphic novels to appear on the New York Times bestseller list.
