  I must admit I find gangsters and serial killers almost as boring as super heroes but I really loved this comic nonetheless. First off it has absolutely gorgeous artwork by Dave McKean. I always used to be so disappointed by Sandman when he’d do the amazing covers and you’d open it up and there would just be incredibly normal comic book art inside. But this was the total opposite of that. Not quite black and white but minimalist and beautiful and strange. The story by Neil Gaiman was quite lovely, here there were none of the fantastical elements that had become standard in his stories nowadays, just a guy remembering things from his child hood that were fucked up. It was simple and disturbing and really well done. Definitely one I’d recommend. (I had borrowed this from the library too but Bill thankfully already has a copy so I don’t have to buy my own).
