The trailer definitely has scenes that makes it look like they're adapting Preludes and Nocturnes and the Doll's House, and the Corinthian arc in the Doll's House is excellent.Looks decent, and I like that they’re using The Corinthian. I always ought he was one of the better visually conceived villi in horror comics.
Definitely Preludes & Nocturnes, and I suspect you're right that they're at least partially doing The Doll's House. I understand that Stephen Fry is playing Gilbert/Fiddler's Green.The trailer definitely has scenes that makes it look like they're adapting Preludes and Nocturnes and the Doll's House, and the Corinthian arc in the Doll's House is excellent.
Yeah, he’s a great writer, more serious in tone than Pratchett but similar philosophiesI guess I see why Gaiman and Prattchet collaborated a few times... They both seem to prefer describing death as a kind figure that cares for humans. They probably shared more things in common... Maybe I should read more of Gaiman's stuff? (But that would first require to start reading again...)
Well, the Sandman comics are comics, so generally quicker and less commitment/effort to read than novels.I guess I see why Gaiman and Prattchet collaborated a few times...

I've never read the book, but I really enjoyed episode 1.I watched the first episode tonight. It isn't fast-paced, but I don't need it to be for this material. It has been quite a while since I read the source material, but goodness did I feel like I was reading it again.

I'm definitely planning on buying the book after this. I love Gaiman and if the first episode is any indication, this is right up my alley.With this, and with Paper Girls (on Amazon Prime) I am thinking I'll watch the show, and then read the material.
That's a great idea. Do you happen to know if there are any compilation books made?The first episode was a solid start. Very faithful. I liked it a lot.
@Maxperson You should definitely check out the comics at some point. Even just to see the original imagery for comparison.

This may be the most reprinted graphic novel of all time, no joke. Maybe Watchmen or Dark Knight Returns beats them on a one to one basis, but this is 10 (11 by some counts) volumes plus the Omnibuses. [edited to add that I've been reading them from the library, and they have many copies]That's a great idea. Do you happen to know if there are any compilation books made?
