  • Wendy in the Sandbag
    Wendy in the Sandbag By Robert Flanagan The 1st Radio Research Company (Aviation), euphemistic moniker for an Army Security Agency airborne operation which deployed to Viet Nam in 1967 under the code name CRAZY CAT and was, in a confusing interplay of cover names, re-named CEFLIEN LION (Sea-Flying Lion) by NSA. The “Crazy Cats” flew bastard step-child aircraft—the Navy’s cast off P-2V “Neptune,” six of which were acquired from the “boneyard” of military aircraft in Tucson, Ariz. The platform, flown out of Naval Air Facility/Air Force Base, Cam Ranh Bay in II Corps, was an intelligence collection project (initially manual Morse; later voice) which was to provide good intel to XXIV Corps and III MAF for some five years. Untold numbers of ARC LIGHT strikes and myriad tactical air attacks fell on targets acquired and “worked” by Crazy Cat. When I arrived in-country in September 1968 for my second tour, I came on orders for the 1RRC as Mission Controller on the P-2 flights. Initially hijacked by my own 224th Aviation Bn. headquarters to head up a job at Tan Son Nhut for four months, I finally reached CRB on New Year’s Day, 1969. After reporting in, getting briefed by a hung-over Exec, I was squired about the compound by a warrant officer pilot with an ulterior motive. First thing he showed me—before my billet room, before the latrine, before the messhall—was The Sandman Lounge. 1RRC had been in-country more than a year and had firmly established its priorities.

  • 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.

  • Representation of Identities in Neil Gaiman's the Sandman
    SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW: REPRESENTATION OF IDENTITIES IN NEIL GAIMAN’S THE SANDMAN Andrés Romero Jódar Universidad de Zaragoza ABSTRACT Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman is a graphic novel that explores the complexities of reality and identity. The main asset of this work is its presentation of a plurality of narratives that, together, create not only a completely new world vision according to comic-book stand- ards, but also a novel conception of cultural identity. This essay aims to analyze how The Sandman deals with identity construction as fashioned by two different but related no- tions: on the one hand, identity as the outcome of the confrontation between old concep- tions of the world and new roles, duties and values; on the other hand, identity as a change of situation, as the individual wilfully escaping from old masks that imprison the self inside predetermined patterns of behaviour. KEY WORDS: Comic-book, graphic novel, Neil Gaiman, The Sandman, identity. RESUMEN The Sandman de Neil Gaiman es una novela gráfica que explora las complejidades de la 149 realidad y de la identidad. El principal valor de esta obra es la presentación de una plurali- dad de narrativas que, en conjunto, crean tanto una visión del mundo completamente nueva respecto a los cánones del cómic, así como una concepción novel de la identidad cultural. El objetivo de este ensayo es analizar cómo The Sandman trata la construcción de la identidad como resultado de dos conceptos diferentes pero relacionados: por un lado, identidad como el resultado de la confrontación entre viejas concepciones del mundo y nuevos roles, deberes y valores; por otro lado, identidad como un cambio de situación, en el que el individuo escapa voluntariamente de viejas máscaras que aprisionan al sujeto dentro de modelos de comportamiento predeterminados.

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.

  • Shakespeare in the Sandman: Two Worlds Colliding Via Jenny Luco Panorâmica 2 (2009)
    SShhaakkeessppeeaarree iinn TThhee SSaannddmmaann:: TTwwoo WWoorrllddss Ensaio CCoolllliiddiinngg Jenny Luco|Utrecht University, the Netherlands Whereas comics have always been regarded as some kind of pulp, the kind of work that attracts male adolescent fan boys of spandex‐clad superheroes and their scantily dressed female counterparts, the winds have been changing. A major factor in this change has been Neil Gaiman’s series of short stories The Sandman. This series features stories of a more psychological and literary kind, and its popularity caused the establishment of a new brand of comic, a branch of the famous DC Comics which goes under the name Vertigo. Vertigo imprint produces comics that are meant to also attract an audience unfamiliar with comic books, opening up the genre and showing its virtues to the outside world. The Sandman’s popularity reached its summit with the acquiring of the World Fantasy Award for best short story in 1991, which was the first time ever for a comic to win a prize in the category of prose fiction. The boundaries between high and low culture appear to be fading. Interestingly, the story which won Gaiman the prize, was the one that goes by the name of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”, and is actually a rendering of Shakespeare’s play, including both Shakespeare himself, as a character, and The Sandman’s main character, Dream (also known as Morpheus and by several other names). Shakespeare features in three of the short stories. The first is “Men of Good Fortune”, in which Gaiman introduces his Shakespeare character. The other two are explicitly about him and his work: “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”, aforementioned award winning comic, and “The Tempest”, which also happens to be the last short story of the entire series.

  • Vertigo and the Auteur Figure
    Ambiguous Authorities: Vertigo and the Auteur Figure ISABELLE LICARI-GUILLAUME Abstract: This article examines authorial performance in the context of DC’s Vertigo line. In the 1990s, Vertigo gained its reputation as an innovative and progressive imprint by promoting the work of British scriptwriters, who were hailed as true author figures, despite the inherently collaborative nature of the mainstream comics industry. In a manner reminiscent of “auteur theory”, writers such as Neil Gaiman, Warren Ellis or Grant Morrison developed attractive authorial personae which they consistently displayed through interviews, letter columns or social media, but also, more importantly, by inserting their avatars within the comics they scripted. Upon closer examination, however, it becomes clear that their work in fact simultaneously asserts and destabilizes writerly authority, in a manner that is consistent with Linda Hutcheon’s view of postmodernity. By multiplying author figures and playfully disseminating authority, Vertigo authors question their own authorial control over the text, asserting instead the crucial role played by the reader. Bio: Isabelle Licari-Guillaume is a Teaching and Research Assistant at the Department of English at Université Bordeaux Montaigne, France. She specializes in contemporary comics studies and has recently defended her PhD, which examined the British Invasion of American comics, its aeshetic evolution over time, and its influence on the editorial history of DC's Vertigo imprint. Her other fields of interest include translation and gender studies, on which she has written several articles. In 2015, she edited a collection of essays on the body in comics (Les Langages du corps dans la bande dessinée, l'Harmattan) and is currently editing another volume, Translators of Comics / Les Traducteurs de bande dessinée.

  • The Metafiction of Neil Gaiman's the Sandman
    UNIVERSITY OF AMSTERDAM FACULTY OF HUMANITIES Master Thesis: The Metafiction of Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman Author: Ivana Babić Submission date: June 30, 2016 Discipline of study: MA English Literature and Culture Supervisor: Dr. Joyce Goggin Statement of Originality This document is written by Ivana Babić who declares to take full responsibility for the contents of this document. ‘I declare that the text and the work presented in this document is original and that no sources, other than those mentioned in the text and its references, have been used in creating it.’ The Faculty of the Humanities is responsible solely for the supervision of completion of the work, not for the contents. 1 Contents Abstract 3 Introduction 4 Chapter One: The Socio-Historical Context 12 Chapter Two: The Myth 18 Chapter Three: The Archetypes 44 Conclusion 54 Bibliography 55 2 Abstract This thesis’ main focus is the fantastic narrative of The Sandman, a comic book series which explores the storytelling as such. As will be shown further on, in the introduction, fantasy is a frequent genre in comics and it is what enables a multiplicity of themes and forms to enter the medium. The conception that stories, which are shaped by the human experience, in turn shape us and tell us something new about ourselves, lies at the heart of The Sandman. Gaiman uses this idea to formulate the principles of the modern world within the comics. Furthermore, this thesis will try and see how the techniques used by Gaiman relate to the comics legacy. Over a course of time comics has developed a self-reflexive approach to storytelling through intertextuality, specifically parody, which has foregrounded the metafictional aspect of their narratives.
