Welcome to Litsy!

49/150 I haven't seen the TV series yet, so I thought I'd read the graphic novel first. Charles and Edwin are detectives, but also ghosts, which helps in their work as most people don't notice them. They get a case involving missing children, zombie corpses and an immortal madman. It's pretty obvious who the bad guy is, but it's still a fun story. 3 ⭐⭐⭐💫

That was A LOT. Kind of par for the course for a Sandman book. A constant in this series: The art is spectacular (so much more impressive and varied than the cover art of these collections, still not sure why they went such a drab route), the subject matter is often unsettling, or sad, yet always there is a glimmer of joy, hope, humanity. I loved the concluding story especially. 1/?

Aaawwwww, MATTHEW! 🥺 He looks so SAD about Dream calling him out on his lack of pennies. 😅 Can't you just confide in the raven without being grumpy?! 🙎🏼‍♂️

Fashion ICON. 🔥🤩

So happy to see the baby gargoyle again! ☺️

Enjoy!

29/150 I'm not sure how I missed this when it was first released, but I'm glad I've read it now. Neil Gaiman and P. Craig Russell together make magic in this beautiful Japanese story of a fox who falls in love with a Monk, and what she will do to save his life. The story is beautiful but heart wrenching, destined for tragedy. The artwork by Russell is amazing, I could see panels of this framed on people's wall as art. 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Definitely my favourite of the series so far. It wouldn't be a Sandman book if the stories weren't tinged with sadness, darkness, the gruesome, but Delirium's colourful presence in a large story arc, and the somewhat lighter tone of many of the surrounding tales makes it easier to fully immerse myself in the marvelous variety of Gaiman's prodigious imagination, backed by stellar artists.

Dream can be such a grump! 😠🙎🏼‍♂️😂
