You mean allllllllll the sandman's in one collection? That would be a massively heavy book.

Neil doesn't read the board. You can contact him through his FAQ line, or, in this case, you might want to try emailing your suggestion to Vertigo.

AND Neil has answered this question in his blog:
quote:
Hi! I was just wondering if there's ever going to be a sort of omnibus (umm... is that the right word? collection thingy?) volume of the Sandman comics? I mean a collection that has all of them. The reason why I'm asking is that it's really tough trying to get the comics here in Finland Big Grin I know I could just order them one by one from the net but that simply is too expensive Frown Not exactly the best question to ask from the author, is it?

Well, the 76 comics have been collected together into ten books already. (See this article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sandman_%28DC_Comics_M...n_Age%29#Collections)

I recently saw, and fell in love with, the one-volume Bone, and asked the people at DC whether it would be possible to do a one-volume Sandman, even if we just did it in a limited edition. They pointed out that the one-volume Bone is about as thick as a book can be at that kind of price -- a one-volume Sandman, at almost twice the length, would be over 2000 pages long, would need to be printed on paper good enough to take the colour, and thus would be unfeasibly big and heavy and expensive (probably a bit cheaper than the $200 it would cost you to buy the ten Sandman volumes, but it's probably easier to sell people who don't know if they'll like this thing a $20 copy of Preludes and Nocturnes than it would be to sell them a $150, 2,000 page doorstop of a book) (and I think you'd still find it too expensive).

I had a rather lenghty discussion with Karen Berger at Fiddler's Green regarding this. Vertigo is definitely looking into it: Oversized, recolored and remastered, and some other intereating goodies as well. And while it likely will not be in a single volume, should it happen, we'll probably get three very nice leatherbound masterpieces containing the entire series.

Fingers crossed.
