Episode notes

Neil Gaiman was working as a journalist in the 80s. He wrote a book on Duran Duran. And then he ended his journalism career in 1987. Around that time is when he is approached by Karen Berger at DC, who's like, hey, we got this character from the 70s called the Sandman. It's not the 70s, it's like the 40s. That's kind of what makes this to bear.

Welcome to our newest show-within-a-show! We're working our way through Neil Gaiman's signature graphic novel series THE SANDMAN. Some Patreon supporters get these episodes monthly, but every two months we'll combine them for general consumption.

In Episode 1, we do some table-setting on the series, and Gaiman -- then we dive into the first trade paperback Preludes & Nocturnes, which introduces Dream and his whole deal over the first 8 issues.

In Episode 2, we dig into the second book The Doll's House (which actually came out first). Dream is on the hunt to track down some rogue underlings, and a woman named Rose learns a lot about her family. Also there's a Cereal Convention!
