Thought this would intrest Sandman and other Forumosans.
I’ve been trying to represent Niel Gaiman’s grpahic novels here but to no avail.
Not yet that is!
What the… :shock: Some bastard’s stolen my nickname!
I’m not really a comic fan, but the Neil Gaiman ‘Sandman’ comics are really excellent.
Brian
Yes. From what I hear, he spends a fair amount of time in the saddle.
We could all buy t-shirts that say I know Sandman…then he’d be famous.
[quote=“AWOL”]And here is the Australian Sandman…

Well I never, a genuine interest in Gaiman. I thought I was one of a rare number.
Housecat, or are you Lady Bast?, I couldnt open the web link you provided. Have you ever visited holycow.com? They have lots to look at.
I thought, whilst reading it, that the Sandman story was one of the most expansive I have ever encountered. Now, as I plough through my old copies I find it to be more and more containable. But still just as dreamy and wonderful. I thought American Gods was a neat way to condense similar themes.
Have you seen the BBC production of Neverwhere? I found it strangely laughable, and not nearly as accesible as his book.
A good companion to Sandman is “Watchmen” by Alan Moore.
Long live Gaiman.
I take it you recognise my avatar, then! If not, it’s probably because you can’t see the ankh 
Gaiman is brilliant, but I haven’t loved much of his other than the Sandman series. Alan Moore, on the other hand, has produced all kinds of wonderfulness. My favourites: V for Vendetta, Watchmen, and his time on Swamp Thing.
Daas, no i never figured out you were Death. Thats the high cost of living for ya!
Your time will come
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
I gave a copy of the collected comics to Sandman to read, but it is still in his desk, untouched.
I should have called myself Dr. Manhattan…
I have lots of stuff in great condition…might even sell some…Swamp Thing No. 1 CGC 9.4, Amazing Fantasy 15 CGC 1.8 (OK, but it looks better than that), …oh all sorts of stuff…every Frazetta paperback cover he did (and the hardcovers).
