Amazon delivered the fourth and final volume of the Absolute Sandman series today. Having met Neil Gaiman just the other night, I am looking forward to immersing myself in his magnum opus once more. I originally read the ten trade paperbacks collections of Sandman some years back, but these deluxe slipcase volumes beckon me to re-read the saga; they are awfully pretty, with oversized artwork that has been re-colored using contemporary computer technology. Like DVD releases, they also contain all sorts of beghind-the-scenes "extras."
