The Story

The sixth collection in the Sandman comic book series is a collection of stand-alone stories in the Sandman universe.

The Review

There’s something different that sticks out for me in each volume in this series. This time it was the typography of the table of contents. It was positively gorgeous, and as a graphic designer it made my little typography-obsessed heart geek out a little bit. Loved that.

As I mentioned for one of the previous volumes, I prefer it when the comics in the volumes are in the same arc – in this volume they were mostly standalones, so I didn’t really get into each of the stories before they were over.

My one favourite in this collection was “The Hunt”, which was about a werewolf who got the picture of a beautiful princess and his journey to find this princess. On his journey, he meets Baba Yaga, which is what made this story stick out for me. Oh, how wonderful and fun – Baba Yaga! I do like stories with her in them.

The Bottom Line

Not one of my favourites in the series, but it was still entertaining enough. None of the stories really stand out, other than the one with Baba Yaga though.
