Book Description
The third volume collecting Neil Gaiman's seminal, award-winning series starring the Dream King in deluxe format. ABSOLUTE SANDMAN VOL. 3 presents several key SANDMAN tales in a slipcased hardcover edition, including "Brief Lives," in which the Sandman's sister Delirium prevails upon her older brother to help her find their missing sibling, Destruction. But their journey through the Waking World has dramatic repercussions for their family and also for the relationship between the Sandman and his wayward son, Orpheus. Also included is the spectacular short story "Ramadan," a tale of a young king of ancient Baghdad and the deal he strikes with The Sandman to grant his city immortality, with spectacular illustrations by P. Craig Russell (Fairy Tales of Oscar Wilde, The Jungle Book).

 amazing August 9, 2008
Like the previous two volumes, this is an absolutely fabulous book. The artwork is fantastic and almost as good as Gaiman's incredible writing. I especially liked the issue called "Ramadhan" and the "Worlds End" stories.
Absolute absolute! August 7, 2008
Guess there is no need for another praise of the comic itself. And like the first 2 volumes they produced a great quality book. I'll build a shrine around "The Absolute Sandman"
Also thanks to Amazon - you folks rock! There is no other online shop out there able to send it as quick and safe as Amazon does. The price is mostly right as well ;)
Btw. I live in Switzerland. No European service was able to send the books as cheap as Amazon USA ( not even Amazon Germany...)
The book is wonderful, the amazon shipping not August 2, 2008
I love this series and the absolute format really does it justice. If you're a fan its a worthwhile purchase. However, I received damaged copies twice from amazon....After the second time they would only refund me. You buy these absolute books as a collectors item and having them show up all busted up etc is a bit underwhelming. Vol 1 and 2 I got were slightly damaged but I lived with it but both copies of this one were just stuffed. I live in Australia so perhaps the international shipping is at fault but while the first copy was obviously damaged in transit the second had damaged beyond that. Shipping within the US might be less prone to damage but it pretty much comes down to the fact they chucked it in a much bigger box with no packing material for it to bounce around. In short buy this book but think twice about getting it here. I must say that they did send me the second copy very quickly and customer service responded pretty well. If it does turn up damaged you wont be out of pocket I guess - just without your book.
Excellent Stories and, again, Excellent Price August 1, 2008
The Sandman is a series so unbeatable in storytelling (maybe a little of an overstatement) and so beautiful to look at that it should be read by anyone who's a comic fan, or a great literature fan for that matter. There's more random short stories in this section, but the stories that follow the main Endless family canon are amazing.
It's just as good as the 2 preceding, with beautiful art and a story script for Ramadan as bonus material, and will keep you reading for a bit. The price Amazon asks for is very reasonable, and is about 35 bucks cheaper than I could ever get it anywhere else. Buy it, and buy it here. (Now I sound like I'm an advertisement....)
Unless you can get it cheaper somewhere else. (Does that make up for it?)
The Absolute Sandman - a must-have July 31, 2008
For those of you already familiar with the works of Neil Gaiman, and his work on Sandman in particular no explanation is needed, save the fact that this version does it again, prettier, larger and with more of the stuff you fell in love with to begin with. For those of you who are still untouched by the Sandman experience; good tidings have been delivered to you. You shall find all that you require in this book, alongside vol 1 & 2. The experience will be lessened should i say anything else than this; a treasure chamber filled to the brink with amazing stories have been brought within your grasp. Seize them with both hands!
