Now, DC Comics is proud to present this comics classic in an all-new Absolute Edition format. By the time it concluded in 1996, it had made significant contributions to the artistic maturity of comic books and become a pop culture phenomenon in its own right.
A rich blend of modern myth and dark fantasy in which contemporary fiction, historical drama and legend are seamlessly interwoven, The Sandman is also widely considered one of the most original and artistically ambitious series of the modern age. The Sandman, written by New York Times best-selling author Neil Gaiman, was the most acclaimed comic book title of the 1990s. He has also created several other creator-owned properties that have been published by WildStorm including Epicurus The Sage and Zero Girl.Written by Neil Gaiman, art by Sam Kieth, Mike Dringenberg, Malcolm Jones III, Chris Bachalo, Michael Zulli, Steve Parkhouse, Kelley Jones, Charles Vess and Colleen Doran, cover by Dave McKean. Keith's recent work includes Wolverine/Hulk for Marvel Comics and Batman: Secrets and Scratch for DC Comics. This work is currently in print as graphic novels from DC's WildStorm imprint. The success of the series spawned an award-winning cartoon on MTV, trading cards, a toy, and even some statues. In 1987 Kieth drew the first five issues of Neil Gaiman's The Sandman and went on to create his own comic series called The Maxx, which was published by Image comics from 1993 until 1998. Later on he sold some work to DC Comics and Marvel, where he illustrated Wolverine. Sam Kieth was born in 1963 and started his professional career when he was seventeen. Originally from England, he now lives in the United States. Among his many awards are the Eisner, the Hugo, the Nebula, the World Fantasy, and the Bram Stoker. He is also the author of The Wolves in the Walls and The Day I Traded My Dad for Two Goldfish, both written for children. His other books include Anansi Boys, Neverwhere, American Gods, and Stardust, (winner of the American Library Association's Alex Award as one of 2000's top novels for young adults) as well as the short story collections M Is for Magic and Smoke and Mirrors. Neil Gaiman is the New York Times bestselling author of the Newbery Medal-winning The Graveyard Book and Coraline, the basis for the hit movie.
