For seventy-six groundbreaking issues, writer Neil Gaiman created stories acclaimed by such luminaries as Norman Mailer, Stephen King, Peter Straub, Clive Barker, Gene Wolfe, Ramsey Campbell, and Tori Amos. These Sandman tales, subsequently published in ten book collections, have enthralled millions of people, including many who typically don't read comics. Now author Hy Bender explores this influential masterpiece via extensive interviews with Gaiman himself, one of the world's most articulate and innovative fantasy writers. 

Bender also interviews many of the artists and key creative people who contributed to The Sandman, and provides in-depth analysis of the series' literary devices and symbolism. 

The Sandman Companion also includes rarely seen artwork from the series, a special sixteen-page color section, excerpts from Gaiman's original proposal, and other behind-the-scenes surprises.
