a pedido de un amigo aquí están los nueve tomos recopilatorios de la excelente serie de cómics de neil gaiman. (más abajo copio la información)
cabe hacer la aclaración que la recopilación nº 1 está mal ordenada, así que vale la pena revisar aca para leerlo bien.
es dificil explicar de qué va esto, sobre todo cuando uno no es un asiduo consumidor de comics, y no tiene mucho para comparar. apenas puedo decir que me generó un vicio que tuve que alimentar durante varios días, por lo menos hasta que completé la historia del protagonista (las compilaciones que subo cuentan esa historia, dejando afuera algunas paralelas). puedo decir que si no tiene la potencia de Watchmen, sí cuenta con una madurez descriptiva y afilada observación sobre la experiencia del sentimiento que desarma cualquier concepto que pueda uno tener acerca de los estereotipos en y de los cómics.
o, como dijo un amigo: es lo que le mostrás a alguien cuando querés explicarle que cómic no significa sujeto vestido con traje estrambótico agarrando a piñas a todo cristo.
la historia trata sobre los "interminables" (the endless). poderosos hermanos configurados según una rara mezcla entre semidioses griegos y mitología anglosajona. lo notable, me parece, es la recuperación del dios corruptible, irascible, envidioso, es decir, del dios humanoide, tal como se concibieron los dioses en épocas menos omnipotentes que la nuestra.
sólo un dios capaz de la indignidad merece las alabanzas y la admiración cuando hace el bien.
por el cómic desfilan "invitados" por así llamarlos, de otras culturas. tienen papeles menores, sin embargo.
dos personajes se llevan todos los laureles de esta serie: la hermana mayor de Sandman, "Muerte" (Death) y Lucifer, dueños (o regentes?) del reino de la muerte y del infierno, respectivamente. y tal vez no sea casual que a través de ellos, gaiman busque resignificar dos valores que el cristianismo arrasó.
el cómic está en inglés, y creo que vale la pena hacer el esfuerzo por leerlo así. con el wordreference abierto, no tuve ningún problema. aunque a veces usan arcaismos extraños, se pueden comprender en contexto.
está todo en un sólo archivo, en la madre rusia. hello, lenin.

* Preludes and Nocturnes (collecting The Sandman #1-8, 1988-1989, ISBN 1-56389-011-9): Dream is imprisoned for decades by an occultist seeking immortality. Upon escaping, he must reclaim his objects of power while still in a weakened state, confronting an addict to his dream powder, the legions of Hell, and an all-powerful madman in the process. Guest starring several DC Comics characters including John Constantine, Scott Free, J'onn J'onzz, Scarecrow, Etrigan the Demon, the original Sandman, and Doctor Destiny. It also features the introduction of Lucifer.
* The Doll's House (collecting The Sandman #9-16, 1989-1990, ISBN 0-930289-59-5): Morpheus tracks down rogue dreams that escaped the Dreaming during his absence. In the process, he must shatter the illusions of a family living in dreams, disband a convention of serial killers, and deal with a "dream vortex" that threatens the existence of the entire Dreaming. Features Hector Hall as the Bronze Age Sandman.
* Dream Country (collecting The Sandman #17-20, 1990, ISBN 1-56389-016-X): This volume contains four independent stories. The imprisoned muse Calliope is forced to provide story ideas, a cat seeks to change the world with dreams, Shakespeare puts on a play for an unearthly audience, and a shape-shifting immortal (obscure DC comics character Element Girl) longs for death.
* Season of Mists (collecting The Sandman #21-28, 1990-1991, ISBN 1-56389-041-0): Dream travels to Hell to free a former lover, Nada, whom he condemned to torment thousands of years ago. There, Dream learns that Lucifer has abandoned his domain. When Lucifer gives the Hell's key (and therefore, the ownership of Hell) to the Sandman, Morpheus himself becomes trapped in a tangled network of threats, promises, and lies as gods and demons from various pantheons seek ownership of Hell.
* A Game of You (collecting The Sandman #32-37, 1991-1992, ISBN 1-56389-089-5): Barbie, a New York divorcée (introduced in The Doll's House), travels to the magical realm that she once inhabited in her dreams, only to find that it is being threatened by the forces of the Cuckoo. This series introduces the character of Thessaly, who will play a key role in Morpheus' eventual fate.
* Fables and Reflections (collecting The Sandman #29-31, 38-40, 50, Sandman Special #1 and Vertigo Preview #1, 1991-1993, ISBN 1-56389-105-0): A collection of short stories set throughout Morpheus' history, most of them originally published bot before and after the "Game of You" story arc. Four issues dealing with kings and rulers, were originally published under the label Distant Mirrors, while three others, detailing the meetings of various characters, were published as the Convergences arc. Fables and Reflections also includes the Sandman Special, originally published as a stand-alone issue, which assimilates the myth of Orpheus into the Sandman mythos as well as a very short Sandman story from the Vertigo Preview promotional comic.
* Brief Lives (collecting The Sandman #41-49, 1992-1993, ISBN 1-85286-577-6): Dream's erratic younger sister Delirium convinces him to help her search for their missing brother, the former Endless Destruction, who left his place among the "family" three hundred years before. However, their quest is marred by the death of all around them, and eventually Morpheus must turn to his son Orpheus to find the truth, and undo an ancient sin.
* Worlds' End (collecting The Sandman #51-56, 1993, ISBN 1-41768-617-0): A "reality storm" (see Zero Hour: Crisis in Time) strands travelers from across the cosmos at the "Worlds' End Inn". To pass the time, they exchange stories.
* The Kindly Ones (collecting The Sandman #57-69 and Vertigo Jam #1, 1994-1995, ISBN 1-56389-204-9): In the longest Sandman story, Morpheus becomes the prey of the Furies, avenging spirits who torment those who spill family blood.
* The Wake (collecting The Sandman #70-75, 1995-1996, ISBN 1-56389-287-1): The conclusion of the series, wrapping up the remaining loose ends in a three-issue "wake" sequence, followed by three self-contained stories.
