Missing Comics
On the way to the london.pm technical meeting last Thursday I stopped into Forbidden Planet and picked up some comics. The most important purchase was probably a copy of Neil Gaiman’s new Sandman[1] book Endless Nights.
I also picked up copies of Gaiman’s 1602 and Joss Whedon’s Fray. Unfortunately because I don’t visit comic shops as often as I used to, I seem to have missed previous issues of both of these comics. I’ve tried all of my usual online sources, but to no avail. So if anyone knows where I might get copies of 1602 issue 1 and Fray issue 7 then please let me know.
[1] Well, they call it a Sandman book, but he’s not actually in most of the stories. It’s more of a book about all of the Endless.
I never liked Sandman. It was more a thing about the people who liked it that put me off. The we-are-better-than-you-because-our-comic-*cough*-graphic-literature-means-more-than-yours attitude annoyed me. And they were mostly Arts students into wearing black and poncing around. Grrr.Of course, ‘Brief Lives’ was a fantastic sequence. If I had to admit to liking Sandman at all.
