The Sandman by Neil Gaiman was a critically acclaimed original comic series which ran for 75 issues. Over the years it won 26 Eisner Awards, topped various ‘Best Comic Series’ lists and has been called the Shakespeare of comics. There have been many spin-offs, side projects and divergent series since the original run but the rumours of a movie or TV series have been swirling since time immemorial. However, until this is realised, those bods at Audible are releasing the series as audio books. Gaiman will be narrating but there is be an impressive cast list including James McAvoy, Michael Sheen, Taron Egerton (excellent as Moomin Troll in Moominvalley), Kat Dennings and Riz Ahmed.
I’ve already pre-ordered the first volume, which is going to cover the first 3 graphic novels, and can’t wait to enter the world of the Endless. The first volume drops on 15th July 2020.
