Things that should have had notes (or, at least, the ones I bothered to jot down): Vincent Price, Charlton Heston, 'Like a Virgin' and other songs, the Savoy Hotel, the Hall of the Presidents at Disney World.

Unfortunately, there were more things than ever that went unglossed, mostly people who probably seem too famous to mention, but then you get to the note explaining what Star Trek is and that excuse doesn't seem to hold water. Probably not much more to say on this one than there were on the previous two.įortunately, this time I did not catch any errors where annotations were pointing to the wrong panel or even the wrong page.

In this volume, Leslie Klinger provides historical insights into issues #40-55 of THE SANDMAN, along with THE SANDMAN SPECIAL #1 and “How They Met Themselves” from VERTIGO: WINTER’S EDGE #3.

The third of four volumes, THE ANNOTATED SANDMAN reprints Neil Gaiman’s THE SANDMAN with annotations by Leslie Klinger (The Annotated Sherlock Holmes, The Annotated Dracula) that delve into the historical and literary references contained in the series.
