Episode notes

The modern age of comics is defined by like darker and more mature stories. It's defined by a move away from this like haze code. Comics code authority standard that was sort of adopted by the comics industry in response to moral panic stuff. The big, big boys like Marvel and DC do eventually start developing like that they launched their own imprints for more mature adult stuff.

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!
