Utter beauty.

Here are mine. Narrowly missed out on a Keith page from Albert, but always looking. Sorry for the poor quality of the scans. I’ve been seeing a lot of love for Todd Klein lately and it is richly deserved. Simply the best. Will give pinky toe for anything from 50...

Wow guys, keep em comin’! 

I’m due for a re-read...

Would you suggest to read it all without having any interruption, or would you rather suggest to read a trade or two and then let the story  "settle" in you mind a bit in order to avoid an overdose?

Well I’ve only read it once, and I did so in the Absolute format. I purchased each volume separately over an 8 month period or so. I did read other things during that time. I think a short break between volumes was necessary. 

The absolutes are so gorgeous, and I bought vol 1 without any prior knowledge of the story other than its epic reputation. So it was a more expensive way to jump in but I trusted it would be worth it and it definitely was.

That's the kind of Absolute recommendation I was looking for; you didn't know that but thanks nonetheless!

Don't forget the first 7 stories have (almost) nothing to do with what is coming after; the real HUGE change happens with issue 8 and the intoduction of Dream's older sister... Our pal Joseph posted a page from that episode (the one with pigeons); that is one of the best stories ever.

So, no more original art here?

Out of curiosity: why is there such a scarcity of pages available now? I remeber back in the past years (2010/2016) you could find some without any problem while now it is almost impossible. I don't think it's because of Netflix. Any hint apart from Sandman being a milestone (watchmen pages are fewer but still you can find them in any HA auction)?

I purchased this Sam Keith commission piece 5 or 6 years ago from a friend.

All sorts of nostalgia in this thread.  Likely the first and only long series that I've read in its entirety.

With a HUGE PORTION of the main series art in one collection, and that collector not on the boards I don't expect there will be a lot of pages being shared. 

 

I don't have any pages from the main series to share, nor do I have an affinity for following rules, so here are a few pieces I own:

DEATH pin-up by Colleen Doran published in the DEATH GALLERY

Very nice piece.

[pestonaccio]

So if rules have not to be followed, I will update this thread with this work by Bachalo; it was supposed to be a cover for the SDCC program back in 1995, but for some weird reason it was put aside and probably never published.

The two Brothers.

PS: is this big collector on CAF who owns a lot of pages?

[ESeffinga]

Nope. I don't think Saunter has anything posted anywhere, unless I'm mistaken.
If you poke around online, there was a big Sandman exhibition out in California a few years ago, that featured a huge number of pages, most of which were from that collection.

Not sure if any of it is still online for view. I have a catalog from it at home somewhere.

Could you PM me an image of that catalog? I want to see it and see if I can get one for my collection as it will be the closest I'll ever get to a Sandman page again.

Have you seen the Graphitti Sandman Gallery Edition book? Similar format to IDW's Artist Edition. The Sandman GE reproduces most of Sandman issue 1 at the full original art size (13 x 20") and a selection of great pages from the whole run. There's also a Sandman: Overture edition in the pipeline.

And you can still order it direct from Graphitti

For full(er) disclosure, I did help put it together.

Cheers
Joseph

Sure, I'll try and find it this afternoon.

I have a copy and it's a really cool book to flip through.  For some reason, I think they can still be ordered as well when I last checked.
