Sandman: Endless Nights

Sandman: Endless Nights by Neil Gaiman, various artists, 160 pages

Created to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the groundbreaking Sandman comics series, this collection of short graphic stories provides a tale for each of the Endless: Dream, Death, Destiny, Delirium, Desire, Despair, and Destruction. Each features a different artistic style (the most striking of which, IMO, is "Fifteen Portraits of Despair," which was art directed by the amazing Dave McKean) and style of storytelling. It's a lovely way to celebrate an anniversary: dipping back into the endless lives of these amazing characters for one last glimpse.*

*Not really a last glimpse, as there's also Sandman: Overture, which I'm gonna blog about in a minute.
