Beautiful artwork. Loved the reminiscences.
I liked the part where Dave McKean starts haranguing Neil Gaiman to put more fish in the comic because he wants to draw them on the cover. "I'm starting to think that Neil can't write fish at all."
The Sandman art captured the feel of the excellent series.
Cool.
Not what I expected but still a good book to buy This is a book featuring the art by Dave McKean from all 75 covers of the original run of “The Sandman” (including the following "Endless" run), along with an exclusive short story by Neil Gaiman. THE LAST STORY Now I understand, I was a child who believed all he was told. My parents told me true things. --/-- So I believed in the Sandman, when I was three. Ask me if I still do. When this “Last Story” was written, obviously the storyarc
Since I got other unread Gaiman-McKean collaborations out of the library, I got this even though I own all the Sandman volumes that at least include each of these fabulous 75 covers, but in this book you get an inside view of the process, commentary, email exchanges between them. If you are reading Sandman, you may just zip right through the cover to get to the story, but the story would not be the same without these covers. Gaiman had different artists throughout but always buddy McKean's amazi...
Dave McKean’s Sandman covers are probably some of my favorite art ever. They were great. This book has some interesting commentary on them from mcKean and Neil Gaiman. There is also extra photographs and art on every facing page. The commentary could be more in-depth but it’s still pretty good.
Posted on my book blog.A book about the wonderful work of Dave McKean for the Sandman comics. There really isn't much else to say - if you love Dave McKean's artwork you will love this book. Each cover has a story, and all the little details will have you stare at the images for a long time. It's interesting to see how his work evolved over the years, and the commentary from both the artist and Neil Gaiman (who also wrote a short story for the book) is funny and insightful.Definitely worth it if...
This book is really great. Its arts are fantastic. I know not every reader will want to buy it and keep it, but I'm sure it's a good one to keep in the physical collection.
A compilation of all the Sandman covers done by McKean...LSD FOR THE EYES !
Dave McKean commenting with Neil Gaiman about his work on The Sandman. Also how his work shifted from physical to digital.
My coolest Dollar Tree find
The series is really fantastic.
This was a joy to read. Not only do you get to see all of Dave McKean's beautiful Sandman work without trade-dress, not only do you get behind-the-scenes anecdotes on the process and creation of these pieces from McKean and Gaiman themselves, but the book itself is so stylishly and beautifullybdesigned that it's something of an experience just working your way through it. An absolute recommend for fans of these creator's works.
I love Dave McKean's art, so even if I weren't a Sandman fan this book would've been in my library. As it is, it was McKean that got me into Sandman (and vice versa), so this was a natural.While this oversized book does collect all the individual issue covers for the Sandman series including the special & gallery issues (all sans title, price, logo, indicia, etc.), it is by no means a comprehensive collection of the Sandman-related covers. Almost none of the hardcover collection jackets are here...
Because I was only a baby when the Sandman single issue comics were being released I am extremely glad that this collection of the original covers was published. Someday, I might be lucky enough to have some of the original issues, but for now I'll have to be satisfied with the collected edition graphic novels and supplementary commentary publications. This book is very useful not only as a mode of collection, but as a presentation of additional commentary by McKean and Gaiman on the creative pr...
I've been a fan of Dave McKean for most of my life. Between his work on various comics and album covers for the likes of Front Line Assembly, Download and Skinny Puppy, McKean was a massively influential part of my youth....And while you judge me on my taste in music as a teen, let's move on to the book, shall we?Neil Gaiman's The Sandman is probably my favourite comic series of all time, and Dave McKean's cover art was always an essential part of the experience: dark, dreamlike and utterly surr...
