The Sandman

The Sandman by Neil Gaiman

Neil Gaiman’s 10 volume graphic novel series took the name of an early comic book hero and turned the whole genre on its head. Meet the Endless: embodiments of eternal forces including Destiny, Death, Desire, Delirium, and of course, Dream. The novel largely follows the evolution of Dream, otherwise known as Morpheus or the Prince of Stories. Interweaving Shakespeare, Greek mythology, pop culture, British history, and various religions, The Sandman is a tour de force of storytelling. Gaiman summarizes it thus: "The king of dreams learns one must change or die and then makes his decision."
