No matter how many non-fiction books I read about the Sandman series, I always find something new in their pages. In this book the best bits are in the pictures, specifically the rather large collection of Sandman-inspired art from elsewhere than the series. Many of the pictures are by artists who worked on the Sandman comics, but since ther eis very little standalone art in the books (and the normal resting place for standalone art - the covers - are all done by Dave McKean) this book gives these extraordinary pieces a home. Honestly, I would have liked to see even more independant art in place of the comic exerpts, but Kwitney did choose the pages carefully to create a nice flow between discussion and illustration-as-example. ( ) I happen to like the book, it is heavy so I was surprised to be able to finish it so fast. It would be a great supplement for the collection, it has some summaries of the stories from the graphic novel although one still need to read the series to really appreciate the story. Ms. Kwitney is able to put in words the things that I have in my head about Morpheus, and I'd would reread the series again. She really hasn't spoiled anything major, just enough juicy parts without exploiting the magic of reading the actual comics. This is a pretty book, but it's very short on content. I thought it would have more behind-the-scenes information, but really it's mostly just a synopsis of the entire Sandman series. The artwork is very nice, though, and somewhat makes up for the lack of substance. I'm really glad, though, that I only paid a fraction of the cover price of $35. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
The first and only comic book to receive the World Fantasy Award, The Sandman continues to break new ground in the comic book medium and beyond. Author Alisa Kwitney explores its beginnings and chronicles the comic's emergence as a unique and undeniable force in the literary world. Richly illustrated, this history shows how Gaiman and The Sandman's gifted artists, such as Dave McKean and Yoshitaka Amano, create a haunting (and haunted) main character who wields immense power. With illustrations never before published, behind-the-scenes stories, handwritten notes, and interviews with Gaiman himself, this volume is a true testament to the dream king and his creator.
