Neil Gaiman The Sandman Dream Country

Neil Gaiman's adaptation of a Midsummer night's dream was somewhat hard to follow it was as if there was too much going on. The characters seemed to be somewhat dark , puck especially who looked like a goblin from a horror movie. I didn't really like this adaptation i prefer the manga.

This is performed on a hillside in front of creatures from faerie even those who are in the play are watching the play, and then there is also a play within the play with the commoners, which intertwines the real world into the play just as Shakespeare's original version.

The set of panels that interested me the most were the panels with puck on page 85 he just looks so dark and scary almost like The Grinch.

  1. The graphics on page 85 were a little creepy. The graphics put a new perspective on Puck. He seems like an evil character in this adapation of A Midsummer Night's Dream.
