The ​Sandman 9. - The Kindly Ones

Neil Gaiman - The ​Sandman 10. - The Wake
When ​Neal Gaiman penned the seventy-fifth issue of The Sandman he made history in two ways. For the first time in comic book history, a profitable on-going series was being brought to a conclusion. More importantly the threads that he began to spin in the very first issue are now brought together and tied together in a loose bundle that wraps the whole package up nicely and yet leaves him the option to slip another present into the bundle at some later date. Sandman: The Wake is comprised of the last six issues of the regular Sandman comic book series. The first three cover the actual wake of Morpheus, King of Dreams. In this story within a story characters from the series meet to remember and pay their respects to the fallen immortal. In eulogies which alternate between respect, praise and villification, the Dream Lord's character is summed up and his flaws laid bare to, literally, all the world. In the final chapter of The Wake the reader is returned to an earlier time in the saga of the Sandman, when an aging "William Shekespeare" having just completed his final play "The Tempest," commissioned at the bequest of the Dream Lord, reflects on his life, his struggles, tragedies and a bargain for greatness he made with Morpheus many years earlier. In perhaps the series' most poigniant line, a statement which ironically becomes the Sandman's own epitaph, Morpheus reveals that he made the bargain because "...I am the King of Stories, but I have no story of my own." Carefully balancing melancholy and tragedy with hope and determination the beautifully illustrated and even more beautifully written Sandman: The Wake stands counter to Morpheus' own words and serves as an extrodinary ending to one of the most incredible stories in the history of comics.

Neil Gaiman - Sandman: ​Az álmok fejedelme - Párák évszaka
A ​Végtelenek családi gyűlésén az Álmok Fejedelme elhatározza, hogy visszatér a pokolba, és kiszabadítja régi szerelmét, Nadát, akit gőgjében ő maga ítélt kárhozatra mintegy tízezer évvel ezelőtt. A pokolbéli látogatás persze nem veszélytelen, legutóbb Lucifer Hajnalcsillag megfogadta, hogy elpusztítja Morpheuszt, ha újra a felségterületére merészkedik. Ám a bosszúszomjas Lucifer helyett az Álomúr egy megfáradt lénnyel találkozik, aki a holt lelkeket szélnek ereszti, a pokol kulcsát pedig hősünkre ruházza, kezdjen vele, amit akar. A PÁRÁK ÉVSZAKA lebilincselő olvasmány; akkor sem csalódunk, ha a felszínen maradva megelégszünk egy lenyűgöző fantáziavilágban játszódó mesével, de akkor sem, ha mélyebbre ásva elgondolkodunk a Gaiman által finoman felvetett filozofikus, morális kérdéseken.

Regardless of cultures or historical eras, all dreamers visit Morpheus' realm--be they gods, demons, muses, mythical creatures, or simply humans who teach Morpheus some surprising lessons.

His journey to find his place in a world that's drastically changed takes him through mythical worlds to retrieve his old heirlooms, the back roads of America for a twisted reunion, and even Hell itself--to receive the dubious honor of picking the next Devil. But he'll learn his greatest lessons at the hands of his own family, the Endless, who--like him--are walking embodiments of the most influential aspects of existence. This massive hardcover tome, over 1000 pages, collects the first 37 issues of Neil Gaiman's groundbreaking series!
