He ran around in a trench coat and gas mask, using knock out gas to subdue evil doers and get them to reveal their dark secrets. Plus, Sandman: Mystery Theatre:The Tarantula Vol 01 leaves origami animals whenever he pays a visit. I came across the first four volumes of the series in a bargain bin so expect more reviews, kids.

Matt Wagner updates Golden Age Sandman with a conspicuously modern focus on torture and atrocity while keeping the setting enjoyably retro. Enter the Sandman. He has a great, sinister look trench coat, three- piece suit, and gas maska bunch of disturbing dreams, and no powers outside of his pluck and a supply of sleeping gas. Guy Davis provides the art and it is perfectly fitting for the story, all spidery lines and fuzzy backdrops. Wagner is an accomplished and experienced writer and his strengths and weaknesses are on display in The Tarantula. I appreciated the focus on women, although he does play that annoying game of pointing out that women are usually victims - while Sandman: Mystery Theatre:The Tarantula Vol 01 having women be the victims of his story. Sandman: Mystery Theatre:The Tarantula Vol 01 13, Joseph rated it it was amazing Shelves: comics-graphic-novels. Matt Wagner creates a world full of amoralists, and it's the Sandman's duty to correct injustices in order to soothe his tortured soul. The antagonists in this story are not hard to figure out, but the way Wagner brings us to the conclusion is sharp and mesmerizing. This is a thoroughly enjoyable story, as sickening as much of it is. Film noir as Comics noir. Artist Guy Davis has a scratchy, "underground comix" style of illustration. The characters are not attractive, and the perspective is often a bit skewed, but it fits the mood of the book very well. View 2 comments. Jan 22, Malum rated it it was amazing Shelves: vertigopulpgraphic-novels. Amazing fusion of old school pulp and modern storytelling. If you like things like , this will be right up your alley. If Sandman: Mystery Theatre:The Tarantula Vol 01 had one complaint it would be that it was hard telling people apart because everyone looked the same. Jul 12, Wakizashi rated it liked it Shelves: readscomicsgraphic-novels. My full review is here on my blog Who's Dreaming Who. This is s-set pulpy noir with a cool looking hero without superpowers. Just a gas mask, a sleeping-gas gun, and a fine fedora. I enjoyed the characterization of Dian and her growing friendship with Dodds. Jun 24, 'kris Pung rated it really liked it. A great noir book where surprisingly the killers identity is revealed pretty early on but it was still enjoyable watching the good guys put all the pieces together. Mar 02, Raymond Rose rated it it was amazing. Sandman Mystery Theater is a bizarre beast. The Sandman it is referring to was a character created in the s, a strange pulp novel character of the newly-created comic books at the time. In the s, took the character and updated him And, oh my God, is it fantastic. Mat Sandman Mystery Theater is a bizarre beast. Matt Wagner of Grendel fame takes up the tale of Wesley Dodds, a wealthy businessman who starts to have horrible nightmares of crimes and finds that the only way to make them go away is to don a trenchcoat and gas mask and go out to fight crime. Much like the original , this is pure pulp fiction. Where dark but trite plots plagued the former, this incarnation is full of meaty plots, wonderful characterization, and sharp dialogue. Together they make a formidable pair as much as Wesley and his paramour Diane are. And, oh yeah, Diane is a female character who is at once his equal. Not just a romantic interest but a fully-thinking functioning character? Enter the world of the Golden Age Sandman. Jan 18, Randolph rated it really liked it Shelves: fictionfantasygraphic-novelcrimehard-boiled. Wesley Dodds is my favorite kind of comics super-hero: he isn't. Zero superpowers, not even the "power to cloud mens' minds" like The Sandman: Mystery Theatre:The Tarantula Vol 01. All he has is a trench- coat, a fedora, a gas gun, and a WWI gas mask. Which means, when he goes to work, just like Super Man or the , he's about as inconspicuous as a cockroach on a wedding cake, only unlike them, no powers, like I said. Don't expect to find Morpheus here except when Mr. Dodds uses his not-so magic gun on you. And death isn't Wesley Dodds is my favorite kind of comics super-hero: he isn't. And death isn't some cute chick either. Sandman: Mystery Theatre:The Tarantula Vol 01 a brutal kick in the throat. He likes to leave bits of poetry on pieces of origami. I like that. The artwork is updated old school comic style. The story is pretty much straight s noir which isn't effective all the time, but pretty fun nonetheless. Like all good noir as opposed to mystery nobody really cares about the plot but instead the characters, the setting, the ambiance of quiet anxiety and despair, are what matters. There is a lot of incest, bondage, torture, and murder for those who like that sort of thing, so don't leave it around for the kiddies to read. View all 3 comments.
