The Sandman Omnibus Vol. 1

Product Information

Gaiman wrote an eight-issue outline and gave it to Dave McKean and Leigh Baulch, who drew character sketches. That central theme is examined through the prism of mythology, folklore, history, and classic literature to create a kaleidoscope of tales, looking at concept from a variety of angles. When Lucifer gives Hell's key (and therefore, the ownership of Hell) to the Sandman, Morpheus himself becomes trapped in a tangled network of threats, promises, and lies, as gods and demons from various pantheons seek ownership of Hell. Dodds begins his adventures in a period where Gaiman’s Dream is unable to carry out his Sandman duties. This self-contained low fantasy story, to which Harry Potter bears a more-than-striking similarity, proved to be a massive hit that spawned its own franchise of titles ( visit the guide).

An original graphic novel anthology of seven stories of the seven Endless, all written by Neil Gaiman. Death: The High Cost of Living: Death takes on human form and wanders the earth for a day, a tradition she performs once every century; this tradition is mentioned in the original series and is a more literal vacation. They explore characters and concepts introduced in the comic with new stories and are not essential to understanding the main series.

According to the premise reported by The Hollywood Reporter, the potential series would greatly differ from the comic book version of the character featured in The Sandman and his own solo comic book series. Gaiman told Yahoo News in 2020, “It feels so amazingly Sandman… You won’t believe how Sandman it is. The author hoped to launch the series in another form but plans for a television adaptation are on hold as production moves forward on the film.
