slow-paced

The Absolute Sandman series are without a doubt worth owning if you're at all a fan of the Sandman series and enjoy a really finely made and bound book.

The inking is entirely new for this edition, correcting all the errors that appeared in the originals (And, because the inking was done by all the original artists, the spirit of the original is preserved to a tee - no Lucas style reinvention of history going on here thank god!).

I treasure these books and look forward to the third volume coming out soon!

the netflix show really is a good adaptation of this first book, I'm gonna read the next one asap!

I had read everything in this volume by borrowing from friends, the library, etc., but I just bought my very own! It's lovely, heavy, beautiful and now I just need to find a week when I can hide and dig in!
