Summary/Review:
This is the first collection of the legendary comic book series about Dream, the personification of dreams. In this story he his captured and held prisoner for 70 years, avenges himself on his captors, and sets forth to rebuild his kingdom. Gaiman’s writing is dark and Dream is cruel but still at times a sympathetic protagonist. The illustrations are rich and often gruesome but always effective. It appears with the groundwork set in this volume that the series could really take off from here.
Rating: ***

I thoroughly enjoyed the entire Sandman series. Dream is ruthless but also interesting and beautiful. I love the art.

Thanks. I need to reseve the second volume at the library. I always find parts 3 & 4, but never 2.
