"24 Hours" is still a hard read for me, even 20 years later, but I appreciate that in the comics, most of the really awful stuff happens juuuuust off panel. You don't *see* teeth ripping out throats you don't *see* all of the horrible things, you *almost* see them, which lets your mind fill in the blanks.

@@AliciaRainbow Which is something a lot of horror games/movies don't get. What's scary is not what you see, it's what you imagine. Some games in particular did it very well (Alien : Isolation comes to mind, also Amnesia : The Dark Descent). The rule I'm most familiar with is : the longer you stare at a *thing*, the less scary said *thing* becomes. It's not about what you actually hear, it's about what you think you just heard. In this particular case, all the psychological horror around each of the persons. You don't see the worst parts, but you see the setup, which is more than enough to make you fill in the blanks. It's probably the one most disturbing thing I've ever read for that very reason.

I feel like Neil Gaiman, as Neil Gaiman, and Fred Armisen, as Neil Gaiman, need to do a show, Neiling with Neil, where they comment on movie trailers, 5-minute Crafts, and various fan-theory videos for a bit.

The Sandman was the first comic book series that I ever became fully invested into. I bought the comic book issue 1 maybe a week before Issue 2 was released and then got every issue, and every collection, and the Sandman inspired hardback book, and a great poster of him with Death, and then of course the Death series. Just changed how I looked at comics books and myths. I met Mr Gaiman and some of the artists at a Comic Con and it was awesome to meet the man behind this incredible series. Could not be more excited for any piece of media ever.

vf, these creator breakdowns are so fascinating! thank you getting the dream king's input! I was revisiting the first audiobook the other day, and it's such excellent evergreen listening in the same way that the comics are always a good read. I'm so tickled by what tweaks are made to best suit whatever medium - the way the narration and foley effects paint a panel in the mind's eye just delights me so, so much. can't wait for the series! :)

I still want him to cameo in the second season of Good Omens (I'm not quite sure if it's rumoured, confirmed, or somewhere in the middle), say, just sitting in the background of the restaurant Aziraphale and Crowley like, sitting opposite to a white-bearded man wearing a black Louisiana hat. That would make me cry.

I remember in the beginning of his graphic novel series that Neil Gaiman admitted that Sandman kind of resembled him as a young man; I loved that reference so much and for me it sort of added to my enjoyment of the books. So I admit that when this new series was introduced that I crossed my fingers in hopes that they would find a good actor who could bring that hidden quality of both resemblance and personality to the screen. I believe with Tom that they've succeeded; I so look forward to enjoying this new version of the same journey. Bravo!
