I understand the appeal of the comics now. I would absolutely read more. When I first heard about The Sandman, my main thoughts were 'Oh, it's like Incarnations of Immortality by Piers Anthony', but I've been pleasantly shown what The Sandman offers that Piers Anthony's series never quite gave. The two absolutely line up to create a complete sense of mythology and abstract meaning for any reader.

If you like the weird, and happen to enjoy DC, you should absolutely try reading The Sandman. I would read more.
