Neil Gaiman

1. Fragile Things (2006)
2. Anansi Boys (2005)
3. American Gods (2000)
4. Stardust (1998)
5. Neverwhere (1996)

I didn't include his kids books and comics, because there are too many. I love all of his stuff, though. Don't take MirrorMask (although I dug it) as an indication of what all of his stuff is like. I recommend Neverwhere and American Gods the most out of his all of his stuff.

Alright, so, a few questions:


Is it true that I can read Sandman: The Dream Hunters completely without needing to read any of the "main series" of Sandman comics? (Because that is the work I am most interested in at the moment.)

If you own it, is $14 for it reasonable?

Is Sandman: The Dream Hunters only available in paperback?

Is there a bigger box set with the complete series, including the Dream Hunters, that I might think about getting eventually?

Who's footprints are these?


Last question aside, thanks in advance. I've been meaning to check into Neil Gaiman's work, but my biggest interest has been with his collaboration with Yoshitaka Amano. And, I've just never really got around to checking out the information for myself, so, thus why I didn't look up this kind of stuff myself.

Yes, it stands on its own.
Yes, $14 is perfectly reasonable. It's typically 20.
Not sure about the paperback thing, but it's probably the only one in print
There is a boxset coming. It's called Absolute Sandman. It won't be the whole series, I think it's the first half, then there will be another volume. I plan on buying it.

As for your last question, I can't see your picture.

"Who's footprints are these?"
That's a Metal Gear Solid quote I always throw in for some reason. It's really funny in game.


Thanks for the information. I think I'll be picking up Sandman: the Dream Hunter quite soon.


edit: I decided to borrow a copy of Sandman: the Dream Hunter from my awesome library system, and hopefully it will ship out to the one I requested to pick it up from before they close for about a month...

[ie]

Borrowed Sandman: the Dream Hunter over the weekend, and finally read the first chapter.

I'm digging it.
