2023 review - I didn’t love this as much as I used to on the third reread. I just think my tastes have changed and I’m not into dark subjects quite as much. 

2015 review - Still absolutely perfect. My favourite issues are the diner and our first encounter with Death. Such similar themes executed in wildly different ways.

In the first of Neil Gaiman's famous graphic novel series, we see The Sandman try to regain all of the power he has lost. This was a reread for me, and I had forgotten just how gritty, violent and downright disturbing it was. I would warn folks of that going in, but it is such a fascinating story and I love the way Gaiman does magical realism and plays with mythological themes. The artwork is also amazing! My gripes would be that some of the language is a little dated, the characters are not very diverse and there main characters seem to be men until the end...
