Sandman-Prelude and Nocturnes

[Symbolism]

I got this graphic novel collection from the library after not reading it for like ten years. The story is about Morpheus, the King of Dreams, who gets captured by mortals when they fail to capture his sister Death, and is held in captivity for seventy years. After the King Of Dreams is freed, he sets out to correct everything that went wrong in hs Dream Kingdom while he was gone.

This is a graphic novel by Neil Gaiman. It collects Sandman #1-8. It is hella-sweet.

it's good stuff man.
i've read 1-4, i think. i own the first volume (prelude and nocturnes).
you should check out Endless Nights. it's a collection of stories about each of the Endless.
some are good... some are bad. but in the end, isn't that just a metaphor for life

That's sounds pretty awesome. It kind of reminds me of that Little Nemo story. They made that weird animated film a little while back. It was cute, and it had pretty sweet animation.

Sandman is sweet! Oh the stories.
My favorite is called Fables and something... But it has stories about cats ruling the world and performing a Midsummernight's dream for the real faerie court and all other good things. Death is cool, but the crazy-haired Delerium is my favorite. Especially when you learn about her past. Neil Gaiman also did Coraline, American Gods, and Neverwhere. His writing is dark and fun and smart. Read!
