given some chance to understand.
Their features form slowly — as if
from the mist which enshrouds the
countryside. And perhaps that is the
most important feature of the film. It
offers us the opportunity to bridge the
gap: the frozen borderland between
the characters and ourselves.
There are rough passages, but the
acting and dialogue are excellent
overall, and the cinematography is
disturbing. Eventually one has diffi
culty with the creeping slowness of
the trip. It seems to us, as to the
children, that they will never arrive.
And there is so much rain, fog and
cold that the viewers themselves may
begin to feel a chill. It is a miserable
season for travel. One almost gets the
feeling that years and years have passed
without the cameras ever leaving
Greece.

The Sandman’ defies comic tradition
By Anne Steyer
Staff Reporter
They do not wear spandex or fly
and the evil opposition they face are
partly real. They are not typical comic
book heroes.
They are The Endless, a group of
seven siblings who are immortal per
sonifications of various states of mind,
the incarnations of spirits. They are
characters in “The Sandman” comic
book series.
Cosmic Comics is holding a
“Sandman* Slumber Party” at their
East Park Plaza store, 200 N. 66th St,
from 9:00 to 11:00 p.m. tonight. The
promotional event will include a sale
on “Sandman” merchandise and a
“Sandman” character costume con
test.
Although the series originated only
in 1988, it is rapidly becoming a
phenomenon. The first 20 issues have
been packaged into three graphic
novels. T-shirts and posters have been
made, as well as wrist watches featur
ing characters from the comic.
“It sells real well,” said Larry
Lorenz, owner of Trade-A-Tape/
Comic Center, 145 S. 9th St. “It has a
real solid following.”
Lorenz said that college students
represent the biggest buying group.
Though the market is mainly men,
Lorenz estimated that the female
portion of the buyers has grown to 10
percent.
“More women read ‘Sandman’ than
probably any other comic,” said Brian
Schur, owner of Cosmic Comics. “It’s
real accessible to either gender.”
The main character in “Sandman”
is Dream. His family appears in many
of the issues, especially his older sis
ter Death and his brother Destiny.
The rest of his siblings, Despair,
Delirium, Destruction and Desire, also
appear from time to time.
“It’s so multi-textured, it transcends
normal comics,” Schur said.
Scries author Neil Gaiman has
received of a number of awards, in
cluding the 1991 Will Eisner Comics
Industry Award for best writer.
“Sandman” won the 1991 World
Fantasy Award for best short fiction.
This is not a category in which com
ics are normally nominated, but the
Sandman isn t a normal comic, ine
more common description is “graphic
literature.”
Gaiman has created an interesting
blend of horror and fantasy, allowing
his characters to grow and experience
loss, pain and anger.
As in most comic series, each
individual comic is a self-contained
chapter in a story of greater scope.
The scope is life on this human plane
and the planes that surround it, heaven
and hell.
The characters exist in the present,
but have traveled in time to ancient
Greece, the time of Shakespeare, the
French Revolution and events in early
American history. Various forms of
myth and legend are woven into the
story.
New characters are introduced who
interact with Dream and occasionally
the other members of The Endless.
“It’s a comic geared to adults,”
Schur said. “It doesn’t have to have
nudity and sex and violence to be
mature. The themes are just on a
different level.
“It transcends the basic comic
medium of superhero genre.”
