The Sandman Vol. 1: Preludes & Nocturnes
The Sandman Vol. 1: Preludes & Nocturnes | Neil Gaiman
NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author Neil Gaiman's transcendent series SANDMAN is often hailed as the definitive Vertigo title and one of the finest achievements in graphic storytelling. Gaiman created an unforgettable tale of the forces that exist beyond life and death by weaving ancient mythology, folklore and fairy tales with his own distinct narrative vision. In PRELUDES & NOCTURNES, an occultist attempting to capture Death to bargain for eternal life traps her younger brother Dream instead. After his seventy-year imprisonment and eventual escape, Dream, also known as Morpheus, goes on a quest for his lost objects of power. On his arduous journey Morpheus encounters Lucifer, John Constantine, and an all-powerful madman. This book also includes the story "The Sound of Her Wings," which introduces us to the pragmatic and perky goth girl Death. Collecting issues #1-8, this new edition of PRELUDES & NOCTURNES features the improved production values and coloring from the Absolute Edition.

C2E2 this weekend and while I didn‘t make it, I did send my husband and daughter with a list of tasks to accomplish. Fortunately, they succeeded in the most important one—getting a sketch from Dustin Nguyen, one of my favorite comic artists. He drew Dream from The Sandman and honestly, I can‘t look away. Love it and now sorta feel like I might have to revisit the comic soon.

CatLass007 I didn‘t like it the first time I listened to it a couple of years ago. In fact, you listened much longer than I did. But this year I gave it another try, remembering how much my Mom loved listening to the old radio dramas when she was a girl. So I decided to listen with fresh ears and it really made a difference. I actually enjoyed it quite a lot. I‘m sorry you didn‘t enjoy it, but I‘m glad you gave it a good effort. 11mo

The only Death for me is death from sandman! Sandman is one of the best things in all of literature for me - and I will argue at grad school to defend that idea. I haven't made myself watch the netflix show yet because I'm so precious about the books I worry I could never enjoy it, but the two characters I remember seeing the casting for and thinking 'yep I can get on board with that' are Death and Desire. #scarathlon #skeletoncrew #autumplease

The Sandman: An Audible Original | Neil Gaiman, Dirk Maggs

Pickpick

I bought this audiobook when it was first released in 2020. I was experiencing a lot of loss and upheaval at the time so I didn‘t actually start listening to it until Act II was released in 2021. I didn‘t get very far. I felt that the music and sound effects were too distracting. I was disappointed because I‘m a huge Neil Gaiman fan. But I wasn‘t completely surprised because it was based on a comic book series. (cont)

CatLass007 How could such a visual medium be translated to one that is a completely audio medium? When I tried to return it to Audible, I had passed the one year limit. This month I decided to try to listen to it again. I really enjoyed it. Sometimes the music was too loud, the way a TV commercial is too loud, so I‘d deduct points for that. But over all, it‘s definitely a pick. (edited) 1y

CatLass007 @5feet.of.fury Good to know that you too are an ailurophile. I don‘t think anyone has ever given me a nickname. In the 5th grade a friend called me Booby Bond, but that didn‘t stick, thank God. My Dad gave me a whole slew of nicknames when I was growing up: Clem Kadiddlehopper (after the Red Skelton character), Clem, Clementine. None of those stuck either. My first two years of college, my friends in chorus had a running joke about me, (cont)⬇️ 1y
CatLass007 “Stand up, Jane.” Which prompted the inevitable “I am standing.” But no nickname. At one job back in the early nineties, the Director of our department gave everyone a nickname. Except me. He‘d just walk by my desk and say “Bond,” in his best Sean Connery voice. I never really thought of that as a nickname because it is my name. When I joined a Fiber Arts group about 10 years ago, the instructor for the group was a woman named Jane and, (cont)⬇️ 1y
CatLass007 at the time, that Jane was co-teaching an art therapy class with another woman named Jane. In order to distinguish the two, students chose to give them nicknames, Fiber Jane and Art Jane. When I joined the Fiber Arts group, they tried to call me Crochet Jane, but not even that nickname stuck. Everyone just started calling me by my first and last names as if it was all one word, that did stick. And, now that I think of it, that‘s what (cont)⬇️ 1y
CatLass007 some people started calling me at the job where everyone seemed to get a nickname. I still can‘t decide if it‘s a nickname. Hmmm… 1y
WJCintron I LOVED it!! 1y
CatLass007 @WJCintron I‘m glad 😀 I really enjoyed it when I decided to take a chance and give it another try. Before I tried starting to listening to it a second time, I thought of how Mom talked about listening to old time radio shows. She loved them! So that‘s how I started thinking of The Sandman Audible adaptation. Thanks, Mom. 1y

CatLass007 @WJCintron Neil Gaiman has been a favorite of mine for years. I‘m still not sure how JK Rowling got away with ripping off Gaiman‘s Books of Magic. But that‘s another post. 1y
WJCintron @CatLass007 Agree! She broke my heart into so many pieces. 😢😭 She was an inspiration to me as a writer. I thought of her as such a strong woman. Now I don‘t even want to see her name. Funny how easy someone can disappoint us to the point of no return. Right? 1y
CatLass007 @WJCintron Right. My favorite actor used to be Kevin Spacey. One of my favorite writers/producers for TV and movies was Joss Whedon. And my brother and I grew up with Bill Cosby. I saw an article a while back in which Wil Wheaton discussed separating a problematic artist from their art. I‘ll look it up and if I find it, I‘ll share it in a separate post. I can‘t remember all the content. (edited) 1y

I will never not revisit this comic. Gaiman lives on another plane and he gifts us his musings. An occultist tries to trap Death, but ensnares her little brother, Dream. For 70 years he is held captive. When he gets free…well, good luck. I absolutely LOVE the issue at the end of this volume: The Sound of Her Wings.

batsy I recently started revisiting this series from scratch since the library has digital copies. I think I stopped at vol. 3 and need to continue. The way this whole world is constructed is pure genius. 2y
AshleyHoss820 @batsy I feel that way, too! It‘s just so intricate. Just when I think I have things figured out, Gaiman reminds me why he‘s the master. It‘s amazing. ☺️ 2y

I wasn‘t sure how comics would translate into the audiobook formats, but apparently one should never doubt the brilliance of Neil Gaiman. This production is amazing. The cast is incredible (hello - James McAvoy as Morpheus? 😍). The storylines are complex, and I‘ll be honest, I probably only followed them as well as I did because of the Netflix series, but I‘m still looking forward to listening to Act II. So good.

julesG Perfect review! I was cautiously optimistic when going into this the first time. The narrators/voice actors did a great job bringing the GNs alive. 2y

Performance wise: amazing! Production wise: amazing! But overall it didn‘t really jive with me in this format. At times it was hilarious, scary, disturbing… and then at times, it dragged to the point where I almost zoned out. I did zone out on the last chapter (pictured), and barely listened. It was just to get it done.

I didn‘t know much about this series before reading the first volume, only that it‘s a cult classic.

In the past a group of people are trying to get control over Death, but they get something else. And this has consequences, people not sleeping and people only sleeping. For many years, they keep this creature captive. When he finally becomes free, he goes on a hunt to find his lost possessions.

I read couple of graphic novels in the series way back in the day, but never finished the series. I'm watching the Netflix show and loving it so far, so I decided to take the plunge and read the whole story this time. These are the collected volumes, which contain all ten of the original graphic novel series, plus some extras. Barnes & Noble has been having a sale, which also made this hard to resist! 💕📚

I‘m slightly late to the party (I kept putting off watching cause I was so worried I‘d be disappointed) - but I‘m actually really enjoying this ambitious adaptation. Is it perfect? Not quite.

I was on episode 5 before I realized why the Sandman adaptation felt so weird to me. Sandman is my Thing in a way few stories have ever been my Thing. Over the last 20 years, I‘ve reread it so often I can‘t rate it anymore, spent ages considering ever aspect of its makeup, memorized huge swathes of it, pushed tons of people to read it, and discussed it with everyone who took my advice and dove in. It‘s more than special to me. ⬇️

xicanti The adaptation is well-cast and visually impressive. It makes interesting changes that push the characters into channels that work better for TV and help establish the story‘s place in the wider DC TV Universe. I can see why so many other people are so excited about it all. I liked it myself.

But it didn‘t land the way I wanted it to because for all that, it doesn‘t FEEL like my Sandman. It‘s got a different vibe. ⬇️
2y
xicanti It‘s a totally subjective thing. I‘m sure lots of other people see this as exactly their Sandman because it captures the feel THEY‘VE always got from the comics. I‘m sad I‘m not one of them.

(And, on a nitpicky note, I really wish the Corinthian‘s eyes were as creepy onscreen as they were on the page, and that Dream didn‘t have such human eyes. Eyes are SUPER IMPORTANT to this series.)

xicanti @wanderinglynn I haven‘t seen any recent behind the scenes coverage, but I remember a big debate a decade or more ago as to whether it even WAS adaptable. I think that was probably when a movie was still more likely than a show, but I can still kind of see them grappling with it via all the exposition in the opening episodes. 2y
xicanti @LibrarianRyan I feel like an awful lot of people binged it last weekend. 2y
Eyelit Omg I so agree with you about the eyes! I laugh-cringed whenever the Corinthian took his glasses off cause those teeth were more comical to me than scary… and Morpheus should have also had modified eyes imho 2y

This is a good story with excellent artwork, but moves along a bit slowly. The narrative jumps from character to character at times and tends to feel disjointed; sometimes making it difficult to follow.

However ultimately it is a great read, with interesting concepts.

I wouldn't say it's perfect but it's a good start to a series.

I got into Gaiman's Neverwhere & Sandman comics in a big way when I was in college. There was something dark, subversive, mysterious & enigmatic about the worlds he created, but I was nervous about revisiting it & whether I'd feel the same. While some of the writing & plotting seems a bit derivative now, I still enjoyed the weird & twisted journey of the 1st volume. It was also more violent than I remembered! Look forward to re-reading the rest.

Emilymdxn I just did a complete reread this year and loved it so much! I was about 17-18 when I read it the first time and I feel like there was so much I didn‘t pick up on 3y
batsy @Emilymdxn I'm really looking forward to continuing the deep dive! I'm appreciating different aspects of this too compared to before. 3y
Kammbia1 I read the entire Sandman series back in the 90s when it first came out. I was a huge comic book reader back then and Sandman was different than the typical stuff. It would be interesting to re-read the series myself. 3y

I have read a few graphic novels before but this is the first in the comic world for me. I loved Gaiman‘s insane creativity & way with words. I didn‘t like how confused I sometimes was or the straight horror aspects, especially the gruesomeness of “24 Hours.” I didn‘t love it until the last story,& in the afterword Gaiman says that‘s the only one in this first collection that feels like his own voice. So, I think I will read the next collection!
