Once free, he must retrieve the three "tools" that will restore his power and help him to rebuild his dominion, which has deteriorated in his absence. When Sandman, also known as Lord Morpheus - the immortal king of dreams, stories, and the imagination - is pulled from his realm and imprisoned on Earth by a nefarious cult, he languishes for decades before finally escaping. Adapted and directed by multi-award-winner (and frequent Gaiman collaborator) Dirk Maggs, and performed by an ensemble cast with James McAvoy in the title role, this first installment of a multi-part original audio series will transport you to a world that re-writes the rules of audio entertainment the way that The Sandman originally re-defined the graphic novel.

At long last, Audible and DC present the first-ever audio production of the New York Times best-selling series written by acclaimed storyteller Neil Gaiman (who also serves as co-executive producer). Hailed by the Los Angeles Times Magazine as "the greatest epic in the history of comic books", The Sandman changed the game with its dark, literary world of fantasy and horror - creating a global, cultural phenomenon in the process. Just like the original graphic novels, this audio adaptation contains explicit language and graphic violence, as well as strong sexual content and themes.

Please note: This content is not for kids. The third installment, The Sandman: Act III, adapted Volumes 7-8 ( Brief Lives and Worlds' End), the Sandman Special #1, and other short stories from Vertigo: Winter's Edge #1 & #3 and Vertigo Preview #1. The second installment, The Sandman: Act II, adapting Volumes 4-6 ( Season of Mists, A Game of You, and Fables and Reflections bundles Distant Mirrors and Convergence), was released on September 22, 2021. It has a run-time of 10 hours and 54 minutes and an original score from composer and musician James Hannigan. French, German, Italian, and Spanish editions are to be expected soon. The first installment of the multi-part audio drama series, adapting volumes 1-3 of the graphic novel series ( Preludes and Nocturnes, The Doll's House, and Dream Country), became exclusively available on Audible on July 15, 2020. On January 28, 2021, it was announced that the second and third installments were greenlit.

The Sandman is an audiobook adaptation of the original comic series written by Neil Gaiman and Dirk Maggs and published by DC Comics.
