![]() ![]() Much of the writing in these comics is not people speaking, but Dream telling his story, his thoughts. The stories are set in the DC comics universe, and as such fans of DC comics will recognize other characters used in these stories – John Constantine, the demon Etrigan, Doctor Destiny, the Scarecrow, and Martian Manhunter. He eventually escapes, and the remainder of the stories in this volume concern his recovery of artifacts the wizard stole from him (a bag of sand, a helmet, and a gem) and his recovery of his own power and place. “Preludes and Nocturnes” is a series of connected stories, that start with Dream’s capture by a wizard and imprisonment for seventy years. The main character is Morpheus, or Dream, the god of dreams (hence the title), or the anthropomorphic personification of dreams. “Preludes and Nocturnes” is the first of these, collecting “The Sandman” numbers 1-8. While the original comics began in the 1980s, in 2010 they were re-released in a series of ten volumes collecting the stories. “The Sandman” is a series of comics written by Neil Gaiman and illustrated by various artists. ![]()
