The Sandman Volume One: Preludes and Nocturnes, by Neil Gaiman et al

Wow! I finally read Volume One of Neil Gaiman's Sandman series. How do I begin to describe it? Lord Morpheus, the King of Dreams, has been mistakenly summoned and is trapped. He bides his time, waiting for the right moment to escape and take his revenge...but it is so much more than that (after all, there are about 9 other books after this one, plus a bunch of spin-off series). I did not realize that the Sandman was actually a character created for the DC Universe: I thought he was an original creation of Mr. Gaiman's! In any case, Preludes & Nocturnes is definitely for a mature reading audience. If you like Neil Gaiman's prose or just want a good graphic novel to read, check this one out!
