Sandman: King of Dreams

In 1988, best-selling author Neil Gaiman first revealed the shadowy places where personal demons bleed into the realms of superheroes & ancient gods. His vehicle was ''The Sandman'' -- the comics series that broke new ground in the medium & beyond. In 1991 it was the first, & only, comic book to receive the World Fantasy Award. The tales that this master storyteller spins for his haunting -- & haunted protagonist wield immense power in both the land of dreams & in the waking world. Gaiman & a team of artists intermingled a dazzling array of narrative & artistic styles to create a stunning tableau. Here, Kwitney richly illus. the comic's history.
