Why Neil Gaiman’s Sandman Comic Book Was Ahead of Its Time

Why is Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman the most important comic book series of all time?

Fortress of Solitude’s Sergio Pereira is joined by SFF author and editor Nerine Dorman to discuss the importance of Morpheus, Dream of the Endless, and how Gaiman’s work with his various collaborators created comics beyond the norm. 

From changing DC Comics to becoming a centrepiece of Vertigo Comics, The Sandman signalled a change of guard for the industry. Along with Dave McKean’s jaw-dropping covers and outstanding artwork from the likes of Sam Kieth and Mike Dringenberg, there’s no denying that this is one series that every comic book fan should read at least once in their lifetime.
