Episode notes

One of the most distinctive things about this book, like the entirety of Sandman is the way that it uses different art styles to make you realize that you're looking at different things or hearing different characters speak. Like I, I reread Watchmen recently and it is, it does a little tiny bit of that, but not nearly as much like it feels much more like you'reLooking at one like visually cohesive thing the whole time.

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!
