The saga of The Sandman encompasses a series of tales unique in graphic literature, and is a story you will never forget.
Review
"Along with all else, Sandman is a comic strip for intellectuals and I say it's about time." Norman Mailer
Review
"Nothing less than a popular culture masterpiece, and a work that is braver, smarter, and more meaningful than just about anything 'high culture' has produced during the same period." Mikal Gilmore, author of Shot In the Heart
Review
"The greatest epic in the history of comic books..." Steve Erickson, Los Angeles Times Magazine
Review
"Far and above the most inventive and most human comic of the decade." Samuel R. Delany
Review
"Neil Gaiman is, simply put, a treasure house of story, and we are lucky to have him in any medium. His fecundity, coupled with the overall quality of his work, is both wonderful and a little intimidating....This is challenging stuff....Sophisticated storytelling on a level practiced by Raymond Carver, Joyce Carol Oates, or (and perhaps this is closer to the mark) John Fowles." Stephen King, from his Introduction to Worlds' End
Synopsis
Worlds' End is the eighth volume in the story of The Sandman.
Caught in the vortex of a reality storm, wayfarers from throughout time, myth, and the imagination converge on a mysterious inn. In the tradition of Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales, as the travellers all wait out the tempest that rages around them, they share stories of the places they've been, the things they've seen...and those that they've dreamed.
