“All stories end in death, and he is no true storyteller who does not tell you that.”

So, I‘m re-reading Sandman comics and I never noticed before that one of the background characters is reading Stephen King‘s, ‘It‘!

And now I‘m noticing that in the bottom right circle, “Stephen” has become “[St]even”! Was I the last to know?

Cinfhen Cool!!! Well done 😁 6y
Reviewsbylola Love your pick! I haven‘t read this one and I‘m hit or miss with Gaiman. 6y
Chrissyreadit @Reviewsbylola I do not love graphic novels but I loved this series. It was introduced to me about 18 years ago- I do think I should reread and see if I still love it. Would love to hear your thoughts if you read it. 6y

This version of the Sandman is fantastic! I always loved the original b&w format. Neil Gaiman gives a written note explaining or pointing out a hidden gem in each panel. This page has John Constantine complaining about his ex taking his Silver Surfer comics when she left. I love this! THANK YOU @TricksyTails !! You are awesome!! 😀

TricksyTails 🙌😊 I love all the extras in these annotated editions!! So happy you‘re enjoying it! ♥️♥️♥️ 7y
TobeyTheScavengerMonk At some point I will break down and buy the annotated editions. 7y

@TricksyTails you wonderful sneaky awesome person!! @cobwebmoth and I came home this evening to find a couple packages on our porch. I opened the box to find this beauty! I frickin flipped out when I saw this book, and I'll admit I almost got choked up when I read the note inside. I love this! Thank you so very much! You are one of the people that make Litsy a good and fun place to be! We are so happy that you are on here with us! You rock!!😀😀😀

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Awwww 💕💕💕 I love this!!! 7y
TricksyTails 😭♥️ Aww! I‘m so happy! You guys are the BEST and make my time here on Litsy such a blast! I‘m so lucky to know you both. So thrilled you like it! Look at that pretty little eyeball peeking over GAIMAN!!! 🤗♥️🤗♥️ 7y
TK421 @TricksyTails I know! She was cracking me up with that eye!😂 Seriously though, your kindness means a lot to us. I can't thank you enough, not only for the gift, but for the look on @cobwebmoth 's face when she realized what it was and who it was from! You are awesome! 😁 7y
TricksyTails I wish I had the words to properly describe how happy that makes me. My heart is so full! Thank you both for being so wonderful! 🤗♥️ 7y

DNF. This was a total miss for me. I didn't care for the storyline, the characters, the artwork, or even the notes along the side. I got to Volume 6 and had to bail. Such a bummer!!

#tbt close to a year ago I adopted a pair of kittens... and they quickly took to my books. The above pic is the first instance of one of them sitting on the book I'm trying to read. 😸 And for Sandman fans: the annotated editions are pretty cool. I'm glad my library had them! #kittenlitten

These comics are filled with interesting art, and reading all the annotations makes it even better. Neil Gaiman is such a fantastic writer, and being able to see the notes he made while writing this series is incredible.
