Thx again for a brilliant review of a beautiful Sandman story. Having the original printing, I was confused why DC had done a new print while the original is still widely available. Also the new printing is significantly higher in price. Strange decision from DC, but might be getting ready for season 2 of the TV show. My preference is the Vertigo label, but that’s probably due to my age and a love of so many books from that era 😎👍

I want that Absolute Sandman Overture so bad! I enjoyed the Netflex series, and now I want to collect this title. Thanks Omar!

I miss seeing JH Williams regular work in comics.

I'm happy with all the deluxe editions. These and preacher are super nice tho!

[@James-ip7zk]

Man, my wallet anxiety-inducing situacion

[@josephpetersen1728]

The deluxe editions are cheaper if you'd rather

Hey Omar! A little off topic but would we see an overview of Marvel art books like The art of Multiverse of Madness and The art of Love and Thunder?

[@NearMintCondition]

In the upcoming weeks with the marvel trades.

Oh wow what a book. That's absolutely glorious. What a gorgeous book.

Sandman is absolutely on the Projekt: Shelflocke reading list.

[@rayanknezic8682]

150 is too much

[@eldritchpumpkinghost2968]

Just wait a few months, Amazon drops the price to around 60$ or less

I almost pulled the trigger on the sandman absolutes but the horror stories of the terribly cheap binding going back a decade now has kept me away from it. I'll pick up an edition when there is a proper smyth sewn binding.
