Episode notes

There was a character named Mr. Sandman in the video game Punch Out and Super Punch Out. I remember him. By some wild twist of fate manages to be one of the less racist characters from the Punch Out. Yeah. And I know Sandman from Spiderman 3, a better movie than you remember but it had too many villains. It was made by Thomas Hayden Church fresh off the movie side. But no, I am not familiar with this Sandman and we embarking on this read for the show.I've not watched the new Netflix series. I'm kind of excited to watch it after we get through this and maybe season two will be in production by the time we finish

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!
