I've been reading through The Sandman again. I came across a copy of the Sandman Companion at Half Price books and it's been a fascinating excuse to revisit the series. However, I remember why I kind of trailed off it. I really loved the series before it became popular. Even though the quality didn't drop off when the series got hot, the fact that everyone else now liked it just sucked some of the fun out of it.
THe COmpanion really sheds some light on the source material. I though I was well read, but this is uncovering homages and sources that I've enver noticed before. It's also really fun to hear about how much Neil Gaimen loved Roger Zelazny...also one of my favorite authors.
