Audible has just released a strictly faithful, ten-hour audio adaptation of the first three volumes of Neil Gaiman’s classic The Sandman, with an all-star cast including James McAvoy as the Lord of Dreams.

“It sounds great, and it’s a faithful adaptation,” says our own Glen Weldon. “The bad news: It’s … a doggedly faithful adaptation. Rigorously, assiduously, exactingly faithful. No attempt has been made to widen the story’s appeal by sanding down some of its rougher, more dated edges.“

Check out his review – and a deep dive into the history of the comic – here.

Used my July credit! Can’t wait.
