I am officially in love with this comic now. I liked it a whole lot before, but this one had me smiling and laughing and generally having a wonderful time

How did I find Sandman? Heh, you know, I don't even remember. I must have just heard about it a lot on the internet somehow, because I remember wandering in to the graphic novels section of a bookstore and seeing it and somehow having the impression that it was critically acclaimed. I picked up Dream Country and Fables and Reflections, because that was all they had, and got hooked by Death.
I think I must be one of those weird exceptions to that rule! I've always been interested in comics -- my sister and I used to watch that 60's Batman show when I was 6 or 7, and we'd act it out (I got to be Catwoman). I borrowed The Greatest Batman Stories Ever Told sometime in middle school and glommed on that obsessively (I was so surprised in junior year when I found out Dick Grayson was no longer Robin). I remember looking on jealously in 9th grade while all the guys in the class traded graphic novels, and I finally asked one of them if I could borrow theirs (ended up reading Dark Phoenix Saga, Dark Knight Returns, Infinity Gauntlet, Death of Superman).
The really funny thing is that my boyfriend has zero knowledge of comics, with the exception of Tintin. I nearly dropped dead with laughter the day I discovered he had no idea who Bruce Wayne was. So I'm the one dragging us to all the comic book movies ^_^.
