If there are two things that I learned from working in a comic shop, it's that 1) there's always going to be ONE guy who is way too particular about how he wants his comics handled (no creases or blemishes, never opened, only touched on the sides with fingertips, placed into a current-sized comic bag with board "shiny side down" with opening at the bottom, NEVER taped shut, immediately placed inside a small brown paper bag, and placed delicately under the counter away from all other books and all sunlight) and 2) just about everyone has read and loves Neil Gaiman's Sandman.
Well good news, Sandman-fans... Gaiman is back at it.
