A compendium of books

Because I haven't had time to blog about these individually, here is a list, tinkertailor-style.

Watchmen by Alan Moore is a classic. The anxiety of the '80s pervade this collection, affecting even the superheros. It is a story about superheros, which really isn't so much my kind of thing. Isn't it awful that I have such stereotypical taste?






With Endless Nights, I've finished The Sandman Series, and what a strange, wonderful, fantastic journey it has been. Each of the seven Endless is given a tale to tell in this volume. I love Death's story. Despair's I read quickly, afraid of her hook that snares the heart. The artwork is drool-worthy.






I'm about half-way through The Sandman Companion by Hy Bender. Did you know that there is a DC universe of characters? Did you know that if one character dies in one story, he dies in all? Strange isn't it? This is one of those behind the scenes book. Great for juicy tidbits. Die lah, I think Elle is right, I am a 30 year-old fan!




The Dream Hunters was created by Gaiman as a 10th anniversary volume in celebration of The Sandman series. It isn't a comic but an illustrated story. It is about a monk, a fox, and the Sandman of all-night dreaming. It reads fast.





And that's about it, my narrow scope of books.
