Sandman is amazing. I love almost everything he's written, but Sandman has an epic scope that will be all but impossible to duplicate. It is an "Arabian Nights" in itself, with incredibly varied stories, drawing the scope incredibly wide, and an overarching plot drawing the scope extremely deep. The title character is often a secondary character in the story (sometimes barely appearing, if at all), however by the end you feel you understand him, but know that you don't.
