The Sandman. The Sandman. Book 7. Brief Lives

The Sandman is the most celebrated and awarded comic series for a very good reason: a smart and profound epic, elegantly crafted by Neil Gaiman and illustrated by a changing roster of the most popular comic book artists. It is... a rich blend of modern myth and dark fantasy, where literature of the contemporary, historical drama, and legends are woven into a single whole. The Sandman saga includes a number of stories that are unique to graphic literature, and you will never forget them. Delirium, the youngest in the large family of the Endless, seeks help from Dream in the search for their missing brother Destruction, who disappeared from his realm many centuries ago. Their journey leads them through the waking world, filled with flashes of brief lives, to culminate in a meeting with Destruction on an island in the Aegean Sea, which holds the head of Orpheus. This meeting will change everything, change it forever. The Endless entities or brief lives – they have much more in common than they would like to know. And to make this knowledge bearable, it is better to pretend that you do not possess it.
