The Annotated Sandman Is Here!
January 16th, 2012 § 1 Comment
Oooh, look what the nice man from the post office delivered to me today. It’s volume 1 of Annotated Sandman, collecting the first twenty issues of the comic book, sorry, graphic novel featuring Neil Gaiman’s ‘dreamboy’ but now with asides by Leslie Klinger who also did a wonderful job annotating the complete Sherlock Holmes and Stoker’s Dracula. 
They took out the colours for this edition. For some people that’s a deal breaker. I tend to stay away from those people.
On the left is the first volume of the ABSOLUTE Sandman for size comparison. Click on the pictures to embiggen.
The ABSOLUTE edition on the left is thicker but the Annotated edition is wider.
It juts out in my Sandman shelf but I’m not complaining. I have Annotated Sandman! Why the heck should I complain?
i thoroughly enjoy your delight over the physical properties of the books you love. i can totally relate.
