In the introduction, Gene Wolfe says:
"... you will understand yourself and the world better for having read [this] and ... you will have been both ennobled and troubled by the experience ... this is not just art ... but great art."
I can give no better or more accurate review than this

The Sandman that is a short story collection version! I'm certainly not one opposed to short story collections. But it seems this may have existed because they wanted to draw Arabia or the Orpheus myth. (Though I loved seeing gigantic Hades & Persephone.) It's the Sandman that is the "collected shorts in the middle of the series" so I don't think it would ever be the favorite of anyone.

I almost read this back in the day. I loved Morrison's Animal Man run - and Zenith, and St Swithin's Day - but got a little put off by the psychedelia, automatic writing and channeling of higher powers that came in with Doom Patrol. Coming back to The Invisibles I see why I passed on it, but still have a slight regret that I did.
I'm surprised how much Sandman there is in it. The densely written, historical sections in particular definitely feel like a reaction to Gaiman's comics.
I enjoyed this first volume, although there is little genuine plot - it's essentially a lot of set up, mostly vehicled through a vivacious delinquent, rude and raw, as he is nurtured by various unlikely shamen, fighting the forces of order and constraint (a few similarities to Stone Junction on that score).… (mer)
