EN - Sandman 05: Game of You

The Sandman is the most acclaimed and award-winning comics series of the 1990s for good reason: a smart and deeply brooding epic, elegantly penned by Neil Gaiman and illustrated by a rotating cast of comics most sought-after artists, it is a rich blend of modern myth and dark fantasy in which contemporary fiction, historical drama, and legend are seamlessly interwoven. The saga of The Sandman encompasses a series of tale unique in graphic literature and is a story you will never forget.

In A Game of You Gaiman spins a tale that spans worlds, from the urban inhabitants of a grungy walk-up, to those of a Narnia-type land endangered by an enemy known only as the Cuckoo. Gaiman's adroit sampling of world mythos gives the series its scope and sense of timelessness, but as usual it's the characters who stand out. This time the wonderfully motley crew includes a drag queen, a punky lesbian couple, several talking animals, one talking decapitated head, the confused heroine Barbie and, of course, Morpheus himself, THE SANDMAN's eponymous dreammeister...
