Product Description |
|
The third volume collecting Neil Gaiman's seminal, award-winning series starring the Dream King in deluxe format. ABSOLUTE SANDMAN VOL. 3 presents several key SANDMAN tales in a slipcased hardcover edition, including "Brief Lives," in which the Sandman's sister Delirium prevails upon her older brother to help her find their missing sibling, Destruction. But their journey through the Waking World has dramatic repercussions for their family and also for the relationship between the Sandman and his wayward son, Orpheus. Also included is the spectacular short story "Ramadan," a tale of a young king of ancient Baghdad and the deal he strikes with The Sandman to grant his city immortality, with spectacular illustrations by P. Craig Russell (Fairy Tales of Oscar Wilde, The Jungle Book). |

GET IT NOW ! |
Their is a reason why the sandman is considered one of the best comic book runs ever. If you haven't gotten absolute sandman 1 and 2, do now before u get this 3rd one, because you sure will be getting the 4th one too.
This comic series belongs in any comic readers collection, and strongly encouraged for new comic book readers. I can't wait to get my hands on the 4th book. Absolute editions are often only printed an certain number of copies, so get all 4 before you have two pay super big bucks for all of them. |

best collection in the series |
|
As much as I really enjoyed just about every issue of Sandman, for me this collection stands out above the others, particularly because it contains the fantastic "Brief Lives" series. I think that "Brief Lives" features some of the best interplay between characters in the series, does another great job of presenting in-depth characters that take it on themselves to make complex choices, and is just beautiful to read and it's really just my favorite in the series. |

Not happy with printing and binding |
Here I am only writing about how the Absolute Sandman Volume three (ISBN 978-1-4012-1084-7, © 2008) doesn't thrill me by it's printing & bookbinding standards (both done in China). It's the only volume I possess so far.
(1) First and worst: the ribbon page marker has very visibly stained the pages 206/207 and 256/257. (2) The printing doesn't seem to be too great either, eg. on page 246 in the white area on the bottom of the page you can clearly see how the printing of the back page shows through (also, the bottom half of the page is crinkled). (3) Many pages stuck together on the bottom edge because (I guess) the cutting blade had a bad spot. (4) On the right paper edge there is some glue residue. (5) Quite often the surface of the paper isn't clean. (6) And last, but not least, the endpaper is flawed/has a prominent white spot on it's righthand side.
And I haven't even really begun to read it yet... |

Lovely ! |
|
These, if this is your Genre, are completely amazing. The price that I got these for was phenomenal. I paid nearly half of what any comic book store charges, received them in wonderful condition. I have nothing but good things about this product and the company I received them through. |

Two Words........ |
Chibi Endless!!
I love how the first two appeared, and the bit in the gallery is perfect!
And yes, the rest is up to standard- ie Gaiman's amazing standard!
Beautiful art, but the story lines! just wow. The characters have a reality to them. Delirium, in particular, reminds me of someone I know. The stories unfold so naturally.
I look forward to vol 4. |
