Three other issues appearing in Fables and Reflections, published as the Convergence story "arc", are also single-issue short stories in which Morpheus appears very little. Each of these issues details various characters' meetings with one another, and each is structured as a story within a story (this is a theme to which Gaiman will return in the Worlds' End arc). "Convergence" appeared between the "A Game of You" and "Brief Lives" story arcs.

The collection also includes the Sandman Special, retelling the Greek myth of Orpheus, and a brief piece from a Vertigo promotional comic.

Because Fables and Reflections partakes of so many elements, some believe it lacks the thematic or artistic consistency that is present even in the other short story collections. Perhaps in an effort to make these differences less apparent, DC has shuffled the issues in the volume instead of presenting them chronologically with "Distant Mirrors" at the front and "Convergence" at the back. Some readers may choose to read this volume cover-to-cover after "A Game of You", while others read individual stories in their place as originally published.

Due to its nature as a collection of short stories, Fables & Reflections is probably the least essential volume of the series in terms of the surface plot of The Sandman (with the exception of "Orpheus"), but perhaps the most accessible as the reader can dip in and out without needing a thorough grounding in the characters and previous stories. That said, some of the stories in Fables and Reflections provide key subtext that is invaluable to the close reader attempting to understand Morpheus' motivations in the rest of the series.]]> 1221698 4.13 286588 26583 2896679 4.46 5896 73 92725 4.46 17710 331 2568404 4.45 11379 139 55811 4.31 26952 935 9931 4.42 13742 394 723222 4.43 6201 110 321799 4.43 70334 1651 38328 4.36 21604 813 430044 4.44 12376 177 81221 4.47 25327 478 264213 4.45 23253 449 330166 4.43 12233 192 1993 25105 1563891379 9781563891373 99 <![CDATA[The Sandman Vol. 7: Brief Lives]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167577136m/25105.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167577136s/25105.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25105.The_Sandman_Vol_7_Brief_Lives 4.53 5371 Brief Lives. It could be because one of the most central mysteries--that of the Sandman's missing brother--is revealed here (in fact, the plot of this volume is the search for this member of the Endless). It could be because everything that comes after this volume, however surprising or unexpected, is inevitable. But it's more because this is a story about mortality and loss, the difficulty of change, the purpose of remembering, the purpose of forgetting, and the importance of humanity. If you have wanted to find out what all the good buzz on this great comic book series is about and haven't read any Gaiman before, don't be turned off by this volume's pivotal position in the larger story of the Sandman series. This book might actually operate better as a stand-alone story, in that its depth and compassion are more condensed, pure, and brief. --Jim Pascoe]]> 1221698 4.13 286588 26583 9931 4.42 13742 394 92725 4.46 17710 331 81221 4.47 25327 478 321799 4.43 70334 1651 1994 3106815 3928108786 9783928108782 0 <![CDATA[Sandman, Bd.13, Das Ende der Reise]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3106815.Sandman_Bd_13_Das_Ende_der_Reise 0.0 0 World's End. Here they wait out the storm and listen to stories from the many travelers also stuck at this tavern. These tales exemplify Neil Gaiman's gift for storytelling--and his love for the very telling of them. This volume has almost nothing to do with the larger story of the Sandman, except for a brief foreshadowing nod. It's a nice companion to the best Sandman short story collection, Dream Country, (and it's much better than the hodgepodge Fables and Reflections). World's End works best as a collection--it's a story about a story about stories--all wrapped up in a structure that's clever without being cute, and which features an ending nothing short of spectacular. --Jim Pascoe]]> 1221698 4.13 286588 26583 9931 4.42 13742 394 92725 4.46 17710 331 1995 22347 1563892677 9781563892677 90 <![CDATA[The Invisibles Vol. 1: Say You Want a Revolution]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1223649339m/22347.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1223649339s/22347.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22347.The_Invisibles_Vol_1_Say_You_Want_a_Revolution 4.07 1026 ]]> 12732 3.95 23325 1408 9931 4.42 13742 394 12737 4.19 2586 135 1996 297001 1840233338 9781840233339 1 <![CDATA[The Books of Magic: Death After Death]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173488060m/297001.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173488060s/297001.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/297001.The_Books_of_Magic_Death_After_Death 4.06 138 58128 3.84 992 39 14304 4.09 1898 74 9931 4.42 13742 394 89468 4.48 6968 165 2001 114857 1563899388 9781563899386 21 <![CDATA[Death: At Death's Door]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/114857.Death_At_Death_s_Door 3.49 129 9931 4.42 13742 394 2003 114860 1401204287 9781401204280 13 <![CDATA[The Little Endless Storybook]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171693237m/114860.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171693237s/114860.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/114860.The_Little_Endless_Storybook 4.00 96 9931 4.42 13742 394 2005 293809 1563898780 9781563898785 4 <![CDATA[9-11: September 11, 2001 (Stories to Remember, Volume 2)]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173468941m/293809.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173468941s/293809.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/293809.9_11_September_11_2001 3.69 70 1221698 4.13 286588 26583 9931 4.42 13742 394 10303 3.93 2934 281 2002 114865 1845761170 9781845761172 0 <![CDATA[Book of the Dead]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171693239m/114865.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171693239s/114865.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/114865.Book_of_the_Dead 3.75 4 10182 4.04 11988 882 9931 4.42 13742 394 2005 697321 1563899582 9781563899584 5 <![CDATA[Bizarro Comics]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1177361205m/697321.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1177361205s/697321.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/697321.Bizarro_Comics 3.76 41 197203 3.85 71 6 42127 3.88 153 21 61923 3.50 195 35 24424 3.98 1008 115 16114 3.75 3007 574 335767 3.76 41 5 10184 3.70 567 140 9931 4.42 13742 394 61969 3.58 329 43 272333 3.50 377 104 119646 3.78 644 112 92895 3.55 168 25 36452 3.97 755 137 9938 3.60 121 5 5951 4.20 9581 1110 99512 3.37 155 17 59150 3.93 459 32 93963 3.48 1563 386 5124 4.10 2739 260 114150 3.67 352 23 245810 3.71 51 6 61230 3.73 1141 132 2885750 3.76 41 5 299164 3.81 59 8 261138 3.71 329 55 1022975 3.45 1235 153 5122 4.05 4022 394 14151 4.05 8200 1270 19291 4.51 5784 108 41597 3.85 131 22 96374 3.81 1468 163 2001 114863 1401203132 9781401203139 9 <![CDATA[The Dead Boy Detectives]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171693238m/114863.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171693238s/114863.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/114863.The_Dead_Boy_Detectives 3.12 51 9931 4.42 13742 394 2005 3839392 0061170453 9780061170454 16 <![CDATA[Magic Trixie, Vol. 1]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3839392.Magic_Trixie_Vol_1 3.64 47 Magic Trixie doesn't understand why no one will take her seriously!

H. Lawrence said that there could be no more perfect work of the American imagination than The Scarlet Letter, which makes it ideal material for CLASSICS ILLUSTRATED.  Adapted by award-winning graphic novelists P. Craig Russell and Jill Thompson.  In addidtion to his incredible graphic adaptations of operas, the fairy tales of Oscar Wilde, and Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book,  P. Craig Russell is known for both his collaborations with best-selling author Neil Gaiman (The Sandman story “Ramadan”) and adaptations of Gaiman’s works, such as “Coraline” and “Sandman: The Endless,” all of which makes Russell an inspired choice to adapt The Scarlet Letter.  Russell broke down the novel into comicbook script form as well as page layouts, providing artist Jill Thompson, also a well-know Neil Gaiman collaborator (“Sandman: Brief Lives”), the foundation for her beautifully painted comics pages.
