NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author Neil Gaiman's transcendent series SANDMAN is often hailed as the definitive Vertigo title and one of the finest achievements in graphic storytelling. Gaiman created an unforgettable tale of the forces that exist beyond life and death by weaving ancient mythology, folklore and fairy tales with his own distinct narrative vision. The critically acclaimed THE SANDMAN: FABLES AND REFLECTIONS continues the fantastical epic of Morpheus, the King of Dreams, as he observes and interacts with an odd assortment of historical and fictional characters throughout time. Featuring tales of kings, explorers, spies, and werewolves, this book of myth and imagination delves into the dark dreams of Augustus Caesar, Marco Polo, Cain and Abel, Norton I, and Orpheus to illustrate the effects that these subconscious musings have had on the course of history and mankind. A new edition of this title collecting issues #29-31, 38-40, 50 and SANDMAN SPECIAL #1 with recolored pages.

I've always been a fan of fiction that incorporated mythology so this was right up my alley. Fables and Reflections is a collection of stories in which Dream comes into the lives of a number of mythical beings including Orpheus and the caliph of Baghdad at the height of its glory. I loved seeing how Dream interacted with these other beings and I think I actually enjoy the short stories involving Dream more than the volumes that have a single story arc. This series just continues to impress me, it's definitely up there with Locke and Key and Fables as my favorite graphic novel series.
