Narration To Books The Sandman: King of Dreams

The first and only comic book to receive the World Fantasy Award, The Sandman continues to break new ground in the comic book medium and beyond. Author Alisa Kwitney explores its beginnings and chronicles the comic's emergence as a unique and undeniable force in the literary world. Richly illustrated, this history shows how Gaiman and The Sandman's gifted artists, such as Dave McKean and Yoshitaka Amano, create a haunting (and haunted) main character who wields immense power. With illustrations never before published, behind-the-scenes stories, handwritten notes, and interviews with Gaiman himself, this volume is a true testament to the dream king and his creator.

Criticism Appertaining To Books The Sandman: King of Dreams

I enjoyed seeing the art work included here, which was not a part of the graphic novels. I am very intrigued by the story cycle in the Sandman graphic novels, so it was nice to read about some of the back story.

Its a gift one can give to a Sandman series fan and that's about it. There is nothing more to it than it looks good on bookshelf with other Sandman books.Its pretty much a book with pictures, a storyline that's mundane and some great art work.

Nice summary of the Sandman series, but a bit shorter and less detailed than I would have liked.

An incomplete Cliffs Notes disguised as an art book/study of a great piece of graphic literature.Sure, there are some great single images, but most of the art is panels or entire pages from the graphic novel, things youve already seen and probably have in your possession.The comments and analysis reads a lot like a book report. You get a small recap of what each volume is about with some comments and interpretations but no new information apart from anecdotes from the production side of things.



I think this book is perfect for what it is--basically a coffee-table companion book to The Sandman. It's not incredibly insightful or eye-opening or world-changing...but it is a highlight of some of the best parts of The Sandman with some interesting tidbits thrown in, surrounded by many cool sketches and drawings and pages from the comic itself. And I don't think there's anything wrong with that--in fact, as should be obvious from the 5-star rating, I love it. I also love how there's more

It's like getting re-acquainted with an old friend.You laugh at the sappy moments, cry at the happy ones. Nostalgic, you shed a tear as you realize how you had to bid farewell.
