I read it for the first time about 4 years ago and loved it. Hope you do as wellI started reading Sandman to finally see what all the hype was about, as it's lauded as one of the best comics/graphic novels of all-time, only two chapters in to book one so far, so we'll see. The art isn't doing it any favors so far though, definitely a product of it's time, here's to hoping it gets better as it goes on.
