Title: Absolute Sandman
Post by: Johny Cee on June 11, 2006, 10:46:06 PM
While browsing through Neil Gaiman's website,  happened across news that Sandman is being reprinted in hardcover.  Something like 80% of the coloring is being redone.  Seems like it could be interesting.

I'm generally lukewarm towards any comics,  but the Sandman series really stands out as being exceptional literature.

I also discovered that "Stardust" is presently being filmed.  De Niro is even in it.  Will be interesting to keep an eye out for.

I saw a few comparisons of the new and old colors and I don't like much the new version. I think it's a bit too "modern" and doesn't fit well with the old drawings (it's not a reconstruction, they are using completely different colors).

From what I heard these books will be truly massive, with tons of pages, but also quite pricey.

Hmm, do I buy a third copy of Sandman (Original comics, trade paperbacks, and now this).  Hmmm.

I might sell my originals to pay for the trades or the new stuff.  I loved Sandman, but the box is taking up space and I don't particularly want to read my originals and risk damaging them.  Solving both problems would be nice.

Does anyone know a site with a fairly accurate price-list?
