This collection also includes Gaiman’s original proposal for The Sandman characters and stories, some early artwork and character sketches, and the original script and sketches for “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”, the only comic book to ever win the World Fantasy Award for Best Short Fiction. The first twenty issues also correspond to the first three previously-published trade paperbacks: Preludes & Nocturnes, The Doll’s House, and Dream Country. Summary: The first volume of the Absolute Sandman compilations includes the first twenty issues of the Sandman comics, enlarged and re-colored, in a beautiful (if huge and heavy) faux-leather-bound tome, complete with built-in silk ribbon for page-marking. Length: 612 pages (and too heavy to hold!) 1 by Neil Gaiman, Sam Keith, Mike Dringenberg, Chris Bachalo, Michael Zulli, Kelley Jones, Charles Vess, Colleen Doran, Malcolm Jones III, Steve Parkhouse, Daniel Vonzo, Zylonol, Steve Oliff, Todd Klein, John Costanza, Dave McKean (2006 – collection 1988-1990 – original comics)
