I'm hoping for people who want to watch the show, watch THIS KZread video series first. With high respect to the comic book, of course😌
Back in college, a few years after the series concluded, many of my friends were into this series. One of the unique things about it was that it seemed to appeal to both genders equally, very much a rarity at the time. We had a joke that it was passed between couples more often than STDs.

I was dating a non comic woman and she saw them at my place and out of curiosity took a look , she couldn't get enough saying that she didn't realize comics could be so deep. She was a recent graduate with a degree in English and she loved the themes that Gaiman used.

Truth
That "sleepy sickness" thing was real by the way. Medical historians think it might have been a side effect of polio in some kids. When they were much older, the victims were awakened by a medical trial for a short time - that story was in the movie "Awakenings" with Robert DeNiro and Robin Williams.

The first time I ever mentioned doing Sandman on my channel was actually in my Boys volume 7 video which was way back in August 2019! So Sandman was a long time coming. Here’s the video we’re I mentioned it, it’s right in the intro. I actually mentioned 5 series I wanted to cover in that video, and Sandman was the final one on that list I hadn’t got to yet. kzread.info/dash/bejne/hI6XzKRwdZauYZc.html
I can't thank you enough for covering this. I wish your channel the best
I read all of these in my teens, they were actually my first deep dive into graphic novels after years of anime and an occasional comic, eventually leading to hellblazer, fables, Y etc. Sandman is still my favourite. The narrative is intricate and the use of history, mythology and folklore is unparalleled. This series changed my brain and the way I saw the world. I’ve been rereading to prep for the Netflix adaptation, but this video is a great summary and memory jogger! Now I can’t get enough. Gotta do some historical research

I'm much the same, this is a 'memory jogger' for me too. I'm halfway through the netflix series and absolutely loving it, I hope they do more (I seem to remember the graphic novels went from strength to strength, so the material's definitely there).

@@kjmmxii123 they definitely went from strength to strength. It's a tall order to adapt something already so close to perfection- I have really been trying to think of the show as a standalone story but I don't think I'm a fan. It's not a disaster but I'll take the source material every damn time.
Listing Danny trying his hand at voice acting for the different characters makes me very happy. Love the channel. 💘

@Dannymalt's voice for Dr Destiny in the Diner made my day! Lifted, what otherwise, was a very bleak chapter Xxx
I just watched The Sandman and wanted to find someone on KZread that went through and explained the comic and you did a great job with this first volume. I'm gonna subscribe and watch the other volumes and other comics. Thanks
Most people who watched Justice League and Justice League Unlimited should remember Dr. Destiny

There's always a message like yours in the comment section
Yo I'm audiobooking this right now and it's wild
Best comic book channel ever ..seen lot of other channels but the way dannymalt narrates the stories it sticks with you & feels like watching a movie in the mind ...unlike other channels which gets lost in translation. I wish you covered two comics a week but still I know its hardwrk so am happy atleast getting one
Yes let's go!! I remember reading some of these back in the day from my library but was never able to finish it. I was hoping you'd cover this at some point. This is one series I've always wanted to collect one day
Really happy to find this. Sandman was a comic I found in my public library as a kid. It opened up a whole world of thought to me. Made me really think about stuff differently.
The voice acting of John Dee talking to the ruby is hilarious. Love it.
I loved this series! So glad audible has the reading! Waiting for the second section
One suggestion I would make is pointing out and quoting significant lines. For example, in the last issue, "You get what everyone gets. You get a lifetime." Important lines like that will help readers understand what's good about this book. In the next one, I would recommend trying to point out some of the things that the recent audiobook wasn't able to convey. Notably, the cereal convention panel discussion where the one female panelist is complaining about the stereotyping of all female members of their group as black widows and killer nurses while she's sitting in between two other panelists who match those stereotypes. This was a great joke, but the audiobook didn't convey it effectively at all. Just my thoughts.

the lifetime line has stuck with me since reading it 30 years ago. so simple yet profound
I hadn't listened to you for a while, I was missing the Sunday morning uploads. I am super glad I listened to you and Vol 1 again. Like catching up with an old friend, Thank you 😊
Danny holy crap man!! Thank you so much for making this video!! As always you’re amazing!!!!
Great job on these, Danny!
I love this! The Graphic Audio is fantastic too!!
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I NEEDED THIS VIDEO i keep searching for sandman explained videos to give me an overview of the series to help in reading/watching so i at least know what's happening
Yes. Thank you for covering this

Saw the ad on Netflix today! Came straight to KZread to get the scoop. Thanks for the upload! ❤️
Oh hell yes, I’ve been waiting for this one. THANK YOU DANNY!!!!
Thankful to have found this channel and especially this comic, I have read this comic online for free, but there were missing volumes.
Had been waiting for this for such a long time...thanks
You already know I always got time for Morpheus 👌🏾 cheers Danny
Really good, thank you, you always do a great job of covering comics. Dream must visually be modelled on Gaiman himself.
I'm so glad you did this!!
this sounds like this will be an amazing series !! im excited
I'm so happy i found this channel. This is seriously THE BEST!! comicbook channel on KZread and i don't understand why Dannymalt doesn't get the same recognition as channels like Comicstorian and Comic Explained 🤷🏾♂️.
I love your videos, I was a huge Invincible fan and your videos on them helped me get one of my best friends into it as well so i hope nothing but the best for you.
Thank you! Hope to see part 2 soon
Excellent review.
Excellent job! Amazing video!
So happy your doing the sandman!!! Love your videos!!
Thank you! It's been decades since I've read the series, although I love it. Having just watched the first eps of the show, I really wanted to refresh my memory of the original. I appreciate all the work you've put in here.
I love that Murphy is one of dreams names
You are just so awesome. Just when i felt lime getting back into this great tale, in deep need while in the hospital, here you go. 🖤🕶🎩🖤

I listen weekly and you definitely did a better job than audible on the sandman series
Thank u for doing this. I need to do some work and this work great as a visual/podcast for me to learn more about The Sandman comics. P/s: Your voice is pretty soothing. I'm looking forward to listen you explain about other comics as well.
Tried reading sandman 20 years ago. Couldnt understand it. Thanks to your gift of explaining clearly.I finally got to understand and appreciate it.
You’re awesome! Thank you 🙏🏼 ❤️
Thanks Danny!!!
One of my favorite comics channel.
This is a fantastic comic you're covering , not sure how you're not getting more views
Looking forward to the rest of the series
Great channel. Thanks for covering this character. Never got into the title& never got it till now.
i read sandman when i was 15 and honestly it is the best piece of fiction i've ever read, the art elevates it so much its way better than any book i've ever read. it's so layered you can reread it all the time and still find new things
Thank you! So excited for this!!!!
i love this ....... awesome narration + presentation bro .......
This was a really good opening volume with icon DC characters
You're singing and flow of the songs >>> 😂👌🏾
This was Great! Thank you!!!
Love this channel!!!
Waited for this. Yes here we go
Tried to read some of his heady stuff and kinda glaze over but figured a show would be easier to digest, couldn’t get into it but your narration has me locked in. Maybe it’s the comic screens and combo of your glowing personality. Whatever it is, I’m hooked and can’t wait to go back to the other media…thanks, mate!
I was mad confused reading book one😅 Appreciate your video!
It did happened and the show is FANTASTIC!!!
i love this read through, i want to read the novels however my adhd makes it extremely difficult but u made it easy, thank u
The one book I was waiting for you to cover😭
I’m just getting into this and already seeing all this has made I’m excited
I been waiting for this...
Decided to check this out since the TV series will be coming out soon. Glad I did.
Thanks Danny!
This is awesome Danny. I’ve been a fan since you covered the boys. Keep up the good work! Also are you going to do a review of the full Invincible tv series?
Lets gooo another great Sunday morning
Nice series to cover Dannymalt. Thanks
Honestly really appreciate how Danny has done this story so far. Its really easy to digest, fun to listen to, and thank you again danny for introducing to another great comic that I can appreciate when the show comes out. I don't think I would be able to love the invincible show as much without your comic series. Thank you. Fucking Gary
Thanx so much I’ve tried to get into sandman and could not do it. Now I’m a Sandman Fanboy for life! I love everything I couldn’t understand the first 3x
keep em coming
Thanks for getting this out on mother's day I hope you had a beautiful mother's day with your love ones. ♥️❣️❤️💖💝

Criminal wasn't my favorite, but I stuck with you 'cause your my boy. Stoked you are doing Sandman
38:31 THAT BRIT SOUND! MAN love Sam Kieth! Never read this. Gotta get some Hands on Hellzblazer and Sandman!
Extremely pogged for this!!! Read this for the first time a little while ago because I remembered you mentioning that you’d like to do a series on it someday. Actually I listened to the audiobook version along with reading for the first 2 volumes and it really enriched the experience. So i think this series will be very enjoyable for the first time readers :)
Thanks man very interesting indeed
Thank you so much! The Sandman is genius! The best!
You captured the Hell seen perfectly
Loved it!!! Xxx
ive been waiting for this 🥰
I just want to thank you for helping me get right back into reading got bored of manga and books but comics brought me back and I'm reading more than ever 😈 you the 🐐
