  • Sandman, Aesthetics and Canonisation Today I Want To
    Sandman, Aesthetics and Canonisation Today I want to examine the ways in which Neil Gaiman’s Sandman has used narrative, format and aesthetic to move ever closer to the notion of the literary text. Particularly going to consider how it exploits the author function and enacts the struggle for cultural worth that comics seem consistently engaged in. Sandman is an epic series rewriting a golden-age superhero into an immortal deity. It is best remembered for its mythological content and literary references, and these elements have allowed it to claim its place as a canonised graphic novel (despite not actually being a singular GN but a maxi-series across multiple trade paperbacks!). Neil Gaiman’s authorship and authority dominate the text and epitomise Michel Foucault’s author function. But Sandman also draws heavily on mixed media and artistic variation and these aspects are less often discussed. Far from supporting a singular author function, Sandman’s visual style is multiple and varied. But despite this, in paratexts the artistic contributions are frequently subsumed into Gaiman’s authorship. However, a closer reading demonstrates that in fact this artistic variety destabilises clear-cut authorship and enacts the particular status struggles of comics as a collaborative medium struggling against the graphic novel branding. SLIDE: literary pix Sandman was launched in 1989 and became the flagship title for DC’s new Vertigo imprint. Vertigo’s publications contributed heavily to the mainstream cultural revaluation of comics as graphic novels, and critics such as Candace West have argued that Sandman in particular was instrumental here due to the attention the series received from mainstream media such as Rolling Stone magazine.

    Lucifer (DC Comics) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Lucifer Morningstar is a DC Comics character appearing Lucifer primarily as a supporting character in the comic book series The Sandman and as the title character of a spin-off, both published under the Vertigo imprint. Though various depictions of Lucifer – the Biblical fallen angel and Devil of the Abrahamic religions – have been presented by DC Comics in their run, this interpretation by Neil Gaiman debuted in The Sandman in 1989. Like many modern interpretations of Satan, DC's Lucifer owes much to the character's portrayal in John Milton's epic poem Paradise Lost, though Gaiman adapts the character to fit the fictional DC The title character from the cover of Lucifer Universe where their comics are #16, artist Christopher Moeller. set, where the character exists Publication information alongside superheroes and deities from multiple religions.

  • 'You Can Be Me When I'm Gone' Mixed Media in Sandman: Overture DC
    ‘You can be me when I’m gone’ Mixed media in Sandman: Overture DC Vertigo’s Sandman series is best remembered as Neil Gaiman’s magnum opus: an epic maxi-series that ran for 75 episodes across 7 years and launched DC’s Vertigo imprint. Its use of mythological content and literary references allowed Sandman to claim its place as a canonised graphic novel (despite not actually being a graphic novel at all!) and Gaiman’s authorship and authority dominate the text and epitomise Michel Foucault’s author function. But Sandman also draws heavily on mixed media and artistic variation and these aspects are less often discussed. Far from supporting a singular author function, Sandman’s visual style is multiple and varied. But despite this, in paratexts and intertexts the artistic contributions are frequently subsumed into Gaiman’s authorship. However, a closer reading demonstrates that in fact Sandman’s mixed media visuals and eclectic art destabilises its singular authorship and enacts the particular status struggles of comics as a collaborative medium struggling against the literary graphic novel branding. SLIDE DC’s Vertigo imprint contributed heavily to the mainstream cultural revaluation of comics as graphic novels. Its use of the graphic novel format to collect stories into distinct arcs, often bookended by short epilogues and prologues, prompts Maaheen Ahmed (69) to claim that QUOTE ‘The difference between these issues and the chapters in a novel is small’. Alongside a bookish structure, Sandman also offers weighty literary content: adapting multiple religious mythologies and literary allusions (for example, Shakespeare and Chaucer). It consistently sold 100,000 copies per issue during its run and won Gaiman four Eisner awards and, somewhat controversially, the 1991 World Fantasy Award for Best Short Fiction for the MSND issue (#19).
