“A clever, literate comic book series that rewrote the conventions of horror and superhero comics for a new generation of adult readers.” – The Boston Phoenix

“Remains the standard by which other fantasy works, graphic and otherwise, will be measured in the ‘90s. Great Stuff” – Detroit Metro Times

“If THE SANDMAN isn’t the greatest comic of the century, it is good enough to demand to be judged by those standards.” – CHARLES SHAAR MURRAY, The Independent
