Volume 1 spans "The Sandman" issues #1-20 and collects the pivotal story arcs "Preludes and Nocturnes," "The Doll's House," and "Dream Country." It also includes the historic "A Midsummer Night's Dream," the first comic book ever to receive the prestigious World Fantasy Award.
"In Sandman, Gaiman creates a story about creation — creation of fiction, creation of self, creation of history — that is, if nothing else, about how creation is a continuous process fueled by all the fictions and selves we have access to at any moment."
"The comic only got richer, bolder and more immersive as it went, issue after issue, until it reached its profoundly satisfying conclusion."
"What I love about Sandman is it's kind of a unified field theory of mythology and fantasy in that it's set in a universe in which [every religion] is true."
