What's remarkable here (considering the publisher and the time that this was originally published) is that the main character of the book--the Sandman, King of Dreams--serves only as a minor character in each of these otherwise unrelated stories. (Actually, he's not even in the last story.) This signaled a couple of important things in the development of what is considered one of the great comics of the second half of the century. First, it marked a distinct move away from the horror genre and into a more fantasy-rich, classical mythology-laden environment. And secondly, it solidly cemented Neil Gaiman as a storyteller. One of the stories here, "A Midsummer Night's Dream," took home the World Fantasy Award for best short story--the first time a comic was given that honor. But for my money, another story in <I>Dream Country</I> has it beat hands down. "A Dream of a Thousand Cats" has such hope, beauty, and good old-fashioned chills that rereading it becomes a welcome pleasure. --<I>Jim Pascoe</I> 2371237 5 2 1991 The Sandman Vol. 3: Dream Country total:7615|5:3959|4:2635|3:923|2:93|1:5| 7615 33295 9029 153 25100 156389226X 9781563892264 6770 108 4.37 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25100.The_Sandman_Vol_3_Dream_Country 5 2 false Sun Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2004 Sat Jul 19 11:33:19 -0700 2008 Sat Jul 19 11:40:34 -0700 2008
First is a tale of a writer and his much-misused muse. Darkly drawn by Kelly Jones, the revenge of Dream is absolutely fitting.
