“One of the few comics that segued from the comics crowd, entering the intellectual and art worlds, winning over a large non-comics-reading audience…” —THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

“Over the course of 75 issues, master fantasist Neil Gaiman worked with a series of talented artists to invent a seductive universe… cosmically expansive and remarkably intimate.” —ENTERTAINMENT WEELY

“One of the few mainstream publisher comics that transcended its medium’s typical audience…” —MTV.com

“A rotating cast of characters that are some of the most unique and memorable to grace any comics pages…There isn’t anything like Sandman in any medium.” —/FILM

“Sandman is a pillar of Gaiman’s oeuvre and indeed, comics…” —COMICS BEAT

“Neil Gaiman's Sandman is one of the most critically-acclaimed and fan-beloved comic books ever created. And understandably so -- for its richly-layered, suspenseful tales helped revamp mainstream comics, broadening the medium's appeal among adults as it laid the groundwork for much of the horror and dark fantasy titles that followed.” —FEARNET
