Eight years ago, Stephen Segal, then creative director at the legendary Weird Tales magazine, asked if he could use some modest writings I had been doing on Neil Gaiman's Sandman for a 20th anniversary retrospective he was putting together. Naturally, I said yes. Sadly, the series was lost in a website revamp. Not wanting it to disappear into the ether, I'm now presenting it on my site in 11 parts (alas, without the benefit of Stephen's editing; these are pre-publication versions). Hope you enjoy.

Eight years ago, Stephen Segal, then creative director at the legendary Weird Tales magazine, asked if he could use some modest writings I had been doing on Neil Gaiman's Sandman for a 20th anniversary retrospective he was putting together. Naturally, I said yes. What followed was a 11-part online series looking back at that remarkable body of work. The series wasn't meant to be comprehensive or to uncover things you'd never seen before. Rather, it was meant to be a fun "rediscovery" of those now classic comics - so read these with that in mind.
