Doran, drawing inspiration from art nouveau and Irish illustrator Harry Clarke, eschews conventional formatting and panel grids, presenting the story in lush, fully painted, free-flowing layouts that nicely complement Gaiman’s lyrical narration. An excellent choice for adult horror collections.

A new story existing in Gaiman’s Sandman Universe, this ongoing series, cowritten by Nalo Hopkinson (Midnight Robber) and Dan Watters (24 Panels; Limbo), collects the first story line in a delightfully dark magical adventure that credibly utilizes the wonderful Americana of mythic New Orleans as the enchanted setting.

Free Country: A Tale of the Children's Crusade

A provocative read with a few gems to admire, including a brief history of the Children's Crusade. However, the extra content doesn't quite fix the jumpy transitions among the different chapters. Recommended for comic history buffs and fans of The Sandman who want to read everything Gaiman has written within the Vertigo universe.

Black Orchid

This tale is a vehicle more for McKean's early artwork than for Gaiman's deep imagination, stuck as he is with working on an established character. Regardless, this book is enjoyable.
