Debuting in 1989, Neil Gaiman's The Sandman was a groundbreaking success for DC Comics & Vertigo Comics. It follows the long, strange life of Dream, the manifestation of dreams, storytelling, and all that dwells in the imagination. A successful Sandman adaptation is finally becoming a reality on Netflix so we're going to drop into The Dreaming and explain why you should read one of the greatest comic books of all time.    Join #MarvelClub for the full THOR experience & more: www.patreon.com/jawiin         GHL RECOMMENDED READING from this episode: http://geekhistorylesson.com/recommendedreading Follow the show on TWITTER - https://twitter.com/GHLPodcast Visit our Facebook fan page: http://www.facebook.com/geekhistorylesson You can find Ashley at https://twitter.com/AshleyVRobinson and Jason at https://twitter.com/Jawiin.
