a b c d Speer, Cindy (n.d.). " The Sandman Summary". NeilGaiman.com. Archived from the original on November 18, 2015. But it’s also the audiobook’s biggest weakness. The Sandman in audiobook is an adaptation where nothing has been lost in translation, except the opportunity to make a story about eternal stories more timeless. This is the first time that the Three Witches are presented as an interchangeable single entity; The Three-in-One. In previous appearances, they have always been presented as separate individuals. Manning "1980s" in Dolan, p. 240: "Neil Gaiman, aided by penciller Mike Dringenberg, introduced the character Death to a fascinated readership... Death was an instant hit and arguably became more popular than the Sandman himself." Another edition that’s available are the Absolute Editions. These are massive hardcover collections that collect a large chunk of comics material, at much larger dimensions (8×12 inches), with better paper, a slipcase, and often contain supplemental material not seen anywhere else.It may seem odd to call The Sandman (audiobook) an adaptation. Audiobooks are, after all, translations: readings intended to preserve an unaltered text. But The Sandman isn’t a book, it’s a comic book, and its audiobook isn’t just translating textual words to spoken ones. It’s an adaptation masquerading as a translation — it’s a product of writers and audio artists making choices about how to present purely visual information. It would be a disservice to the many artists who crafted the comic to pretend otherwise. The flaw of the audiobook is that it’s an adaptation where the creators don’t make enough choices. This issue is reprinted in Sandman: Preludes and Nocturnes, Sandman: Absolute Edition, Volume 1 and Essential Vertigo: Sandman #2.

The Sandman Deluxe Edition Book One, collecting The Sandman #1–16. Extras include and Sandman Midnight Theatre, Gaiman's original series pitch, character designs charting the visual development of Dream. Published November 2020. Fortunately, Gaiman isn’t always the Narrator, and even when he is, the audiobook still has lovely stretches of achievement. The whole opening arc comes off great — the cameos from John Constantine, original Sandman Wesley Dodds, and superhero Mister Miracle are bright highlights. The series also shines in adaptations of Sandman’s single-issue tangent tales, like that of the accidental immortal Hob Gadling, the dreams of cats, and the original 1605 production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

The Sandman Volume 2 by Neil Gaiman | Waterstones
Take the character of Judy, a doomed lesbian woman on the outs with her girlfriend, who appears in one issue only. Did we need to keep the detail that the first queer couple in the story is physically abusive? Did we need the multiple fleeting, florid references to the brutalization of queer, underage, male sex workers? Did we need to create an audioscape of a man “nervously” raping the muse Calliope? Or to painstakingly, without edits, retell the plot-inessential one-shot story “Facade” — the moral of which can be read as “Suicide isn’t tragic if you’re freakish enough”? And could we have taken a second look, perhaps, at the suggestion that “it” is just as appropriate a pronoun as “he,” “she,” or “they” for Dream’s genderfluid sibling, Desire?

The Sandman Omnibus Vol. 1 Arrives This August". Vertigo. March 7, 2013. Archived from the original on March 14, 2014 . Retrieved March 14, 2014. The Absolute Death, collecting The Sandman #8 and #20, Death: The High Cost of Living #1–3, Death: The Time of Your Life #1–3, "A Winter's Tale" from Vertigo: Winter's Edge #2, "The Wheel" from 9–11: The World's Finest Comic Book Writers & Artists Tell Stories to Remember, and "Death and Venice" from The Sandman: Endless Nights. Extras include the "Death Talks About Life" AIDS pamphlet, script and pencils for The Sandman #8 ("The Sound of Her Wings"), a complete reproduction of A Death Gallery (a one-shot of Death-inspired art), a section on the collectibles inspired by Death, and sketches by Chris Bachalo. Published November 2009. I would love to hear audio productions of later arcs of The Sandman, like “Season of Mists,” in which a conclave of gods petitions Dream for the keys to Hell; “Brief Lives,” in which Dream takes his little sister Delirium on a cross-country road trip to find their lost brother Destruction; or the tragic, never-ending story of Dream’s son, Orpheus. The original version of Sandman fell into obscurity when superheroes fell out of popularity in the 1940s. He would appear sporadically in the occasional cameo as part of the Justice Society of America over preceding decades.
