    <![CDATA[One of the most popular and critically acclaimed book titles of all time, <em>New York Times</em> best-selling author Neil Gaiman's masterpiece <em>The Sandman</em> set new standards for mature, lyrical fantasy and graphic narrative.  Now, Vertigo and DC Comics are proud to present the last of four definitive Absolute Editions collecting this groundbreaking series in its entirety.<br/><br/><em>The Absolute Sandman Volume Four</em> reprints issues 57-75 of <em>The Sandman</em> and features an introduction by Karen Berger, editor of the original series and founder of the Vertigo imprint.  This volume also includes a survey of exquisite memorabilia from the Dreaming, the original script and thumbnails by Gaiman and artist Marc Hempel for the first part of &quot;The Kindly Ones&quot; from <em>The Sandman</em> #57, and the complete script by Gaiman for the title's final issue, together with thumbnails, pencils, and paintings by artist Charles Vess.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[These new Absolute editions of Sandman are truly beautiful.  The recoloring, the large page size and high paper quality- it's all a wonderful way to re-experience these classic comics, still possibly the best series of graphic novels ever written, in my opinion.  Well worth the money for any serious...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/37740674">more...</a>]]></body>
