本片根据马克·米勒（Mark Millar）著名同名漫画改编。

When Brant and Charlene wreck their car in a horrible snowstorm in the middle of nowhere, the only place they can find shelter is a mysterious little inn called World's End. Here they wait out the storm and listen to stories from the many travelers also stuck at this tavern. These tales exemplify Neil Gaiman's gift for storytelling--and his love for the very telling of them. This volume has almost nothing to do with the larger story of the Sandman, except for a brief foreshadowing nod. It's a nice companion to the best Sandman short story collection, Dream Country, (and it's much better than the hodgepodge Fables and Reflections). World's End works best as a collection--it's a story about a story about stories--all wrapped up in a structure that's clever without being cute, and which features an ending nothing short of spectacular. --Jim Pascoe

Written by Neil Gaiman; Art by P. Craig Russell, Bryan Talbot, Shawn McManus, Jill Thompson and others The critically acclaimed THE SANDMAN: FABLES AND REFLECTIONS continues the fantastical epic of Morpheus, the King of Dreams, as he observes and interacts with an odd assortment of historical and fictional characters throughout time. Featuring tales of kings, explorers, spies, and werewolves, this book of myth and imagination delves into the dark dreams of Augustus Caesar, Marco Polo, Cain and Abel, Norton I, and Orpheus to illustrate the effects that these subconscious musings have had on the course of history and mankind.

Written by Neil Gaiman; Art by Jill Thompson and Vince Locke; Painted Cover by Dave McKean Dream's youngest sister, the loopy Delirium, convinces him to go on a quest for their missing brother, Destruction. But Dream may learn that the cost of finding his prodigal sibling is more than he can bear.

Volume Five of New York Times best selling author Neil Gaiman’s acclaimed creation THE SANDMAN collects one of the series’ most beloved storylines. Take an apartment house, add in a drag queen, a lesbian couple, some talking animals, a talking severed head, a confused heroine and the deadly Cuckoo. Stir vigorously with a hurricane and Morpheus himself and you get this fifth installment of the SANDMAN series. This story stars Barbie, who first makes an appearance in THE DOLL’S HOUSE and now finds herself a princess in a vivid dreamworld.

A fantastical adventure through the worlds we live in and the worlds we create. From two masters of the graphic novel -- Gene Luen Yang (American Born Chinese) and Derek Kirk Kim (Same Difference and Other Stories) come three magical tales – The story of a prince who defeats his greatest enemy only to discover that maybe his world is not what it had seemed. The story of a frog who finds that just being a frog might be the way to go. The story of a women who receives an e-mail from Prince Henry of Nigeria asking for a loan to help save his family – and gives it to him. With vivid artwork and moving writing, Derek Kirk Kim and Gene Luen Yang test the boundaries between fantasy and reality, exploring the ways that the world of the imagination can affect real life.

/Kelley Jones, Mike Dringenberg, Matt Wagner et al Acclaimed writer Neil Gaiman sends The Sandman on a journey into Hell in the hope of redeeming the soul of his old love. Instead of releasing the damned soul, though, Lucifer turns over all of Hell to the Lord of Dreams. Beginning with a prologue that introduces the Sandman's entire family, known as the Endless, this volume provides an excellent opportunity for new readers to enter the realm of the D

Written by Neil Gaiman; Art by Kelley Jones, Charles Vess, Colleen Doran and Malcolm Jones, III; Painted Cover by Dave McKean The third book of the Sandman collection is a series of four short comic book stories. In each of these otherwise unrelated stories, Morpheus serves only as a minor character. Here we meet the mother of Morpheus's son, find out what cats dream about, and discover the true origin behind Shakespeare's A Midsummer's Night Dream. The latter won a World Fantasy Award for best short story, the first time a comic book was given that honor.

"The war arrived in our village on the 18th of January. Obviously there were other wars going on, but they didn't have anything to do with us. There were wars for blacks. Wars for Arabs. Wars for Slavs. Our war started on the 18th of January, and in a few days, everything had changed."
So recounts Giuliano, a loner among outsiders, one of threeyoungdrifters caught up in the whirlwind of a war in the Balkans.The threeboys arelike passing shadows; theylive in abandoned houses, dodge the occasional bomb, and steal car parts for money.Meeting Felix--a powerful, fast-talking mercenary--changes everything for them.Felix is an expert manipulator; he speaks to their ambition andto their desires forpower, wealth, and purpose.They're instantly hooked, especially the trio's unofficial leader, Stefano, and they soon escalate from petty crime to working on behalf of a mafia-style militia, bullying and extorting money in Felix's name.But as Giuliano comes to realize, they don't know what they're fighting for--if they're even fighting for anything. Notes for a War Story is an astonishinglook atlife in a lawless, war-torn nation, heightened by theharsh, moving,pencil and watercolor artwork of Italy's bestgraphic novel author.

Remember that time when Buffy's little sister Dawn first found out that Buffy is the Slayer? And then when Angel almost killed Dawn, because no one had told her that he'd turned evil again? Buffy and the gang all have memories connected to Dawn, and only Buffy and Giles know they're not real. But there are still a lot of unanswered questions as to how Dawn came into Buffy's life, and where these memories come from. Now, Dawn has vanished without a trace, and the Scooby gang has no clue where to find her. But Buffy will stop at nothing to find her little sister, even if she has to face off against a cadre of crazed, bloodsucking monks and a former Vampire Slayer turned Slayer Vampire Collecting issues #35-#38 of the ongoing series.

The immense popularity of Neil Gaiman's Sandman series is due in large part to the development of his characters. In The Doll's House, the second book of the Sandman magnum opus, Gaiman continues to build the foundation for the larger story, introducing us to more of the Dream King's family of the Endless.

The Sandman returns to his kingdom of the Dreaming after nearly a century of imprisonment, finding several things out of place; most importantly, an anomaly called a dream vortex has manifested itself in the form of a young girl who unknowingly threatens to rip apart the Dreaming. And there's the smaller matter of a few nightmares having escaped. Among them is Gaiman's creepiest creation: the Corinthian, a serial killer with a miniature set of teeth in each eye socket. Because later volumes concentrate so much on human relationships with Gaiman's signature fair for fantasy and mythology, it is sometimes easy to forget that the Sandman series started out as a horror comic. This book grabs you and doesn't let you forget that so easily.

Written by Neil Gaiman; Art by Sam Kieth, Mike Dringenberg, and Malcolm Jones, III; Painted Cover by Dave McKean A wizard attempting to capture Death to bargain for eternal life traps her younger brother Dream instead. Fearful for his safety, the wizard kept him imprisoned in a glass bottle for decades. After his escape, Dream, also known as Morpheus, goes on a quest for his lost objects of power. On the way, Morpheus encounters Lucifer and demons from Hell, the Justice League, and John Constantine, the Hellblazer. This book also includes the story "The Sound of Her Wings" which introduces us to the pragmatic and perky goth girl, Death.

(Aurealis Awards) 生活上的變動，都可能引發生命的大轉彎…… 惟有開始追尋，各種希望、未來才能一點一滴形成！ 在一幕令人心碎的離別場景中，主角最後一次親吻摯愛的妻女，黯然登上蒸汽渡輪，踏上這一生中痛苦卻重要的旅程：他要越過無垠的一片海洋，去到完全陌生的國度，只為了追求心底一個美麗的希望——讓家庭有更好的未來。 來到新世界之後，除了濃重的鄉愁之外，主角必須面對接踵而來的紛亂和慌亂感：聽不懂的語言、無法辨讀的文字、新奇的風俗、長相怪異的動植物以及陌生的生活環境。全身家當只有一個皮箱的他，不僅得想辦法解決吃住的問題，還得學習適應全新的環境，找到生存的方式。 在摸索的過程中，主角接受了別人的幫助，也看到了這些人自身隱藏在後的移民故事，而與這些人的生命產生連結。他理解到，在最壞的年代，人依然可以付出愛與關懷，也因為如此，才能在惡劣的情況仍舊懷抱希望，走出一條生路！ ★內容特色 1.全書敘述採圖像方式是必然的決定：來到完全陌生甚至是奇異的土地上，主角無法與語言與外界做溝通，故事若採任何形式的文字書寫，反而削弱了震撼力量。讀者是直接站在與主角同樣的位置來看待他週遭的事物和環境。我們的眼睛就是主角的眼睛，我們看見新奇事物的困惑、驚訝、恐慌與不理解等種種反應也正是他會有的反應，也因此他在孤單寂寞中的思鄉情緒會格外引起共鳴；而他在安頓下來，擬定計畫把妻女接來，為「即將成形的未來」雀躍的時候，我們也忍不住跟他一起期待、一起興奮！ 2.相簿是另一種形式的圖畫書：封面裝禎以「相簿」的形式，內頁也特意選擇深褐色調的懷舊色彩來顯出照片，使得文件紀錄的意味更濃厚。每個人家中的相簿其實就是另一種形式的相圖畫書，根據年代來描繪出一個人一生的故事。 3.利用小圖跨頁大圖帶出閱讀節奏：因為沒有文字來帶出情節，因此畫面的安排、怎麼掌握讀者前進的節奏成為作者最重要的功課：在這方面，他等於是在做電影的分鏡。例如，他在一頁上畫出12個方格來帶出連續性的動作，讀者可以快速看過進入情節；再利用整頁甚至是跨頁的壯闊場景來調整讀者的閱讀速度，讀者在看到開闊的場景自然會停下來細看，因此快慢之間的閱讀節奏也就在小圖與大圖之間顯現！氣氛營造上，他在書中多次利用「從近距離特寫再拉到遠處」的對比技巧，帶出渺小與孤單的憂鬱氛圍。 4.大量意象的使用：全書使用了大量的意象，例如尾巴有尖刺的巨龍？是惡劣的自然環境還是極權制度？戴上面具拿著火槍的巨人是誰？貓頭鷹造型的城市聚落……讀者可以根據自己的經驗，在每個畫面中琢磨、飛翔、想像。
內容導讀
★亞馬遜讀者五顆星推薦讓我濃烈的情感自然流露，彷如電流一般（E.R.博德／紐約） 我書架上的書有幾種：有一種是讓我能從中獲得閱讀樂趣的，有些書則是隨著時間更顯其芳香和價值，還有些書（如果我夠幸運的話，一年中會看到一本，）則是帶給我極度的震撼感，就像電流一般，自然傾瀉出我濃郁的情感，《抵岸》正是我這幾年來獲得最高閱讀樂趣的書。書裡面每個人物的表情、每個場景安排、每段故事都彷彿在述說上千個回憶，讓我可以細看好幾個小時。作者對這本書下的努力和研究成功給予了小說最難塑造出的部份：靈魂。這絕對是美國2007年最棒的出版品。每個人的家裡都該擺上一本《抵岸》 (克力斯•豪爾／洛杉磯) 這也許是我看過最美麗的一本書了。作者在這裡其實要是向所有那些克服種種困難，在新天地努力奮鬥，為自己或是為家庭尋找美好未來的勇敢鬥士。全書一段段的故事情節完全用圖畫來呈現，一個字也沒有，我想的確也不需要文字，因為我從圖畫裡感受的要遠比文字更為動人更為深刻。《抵岸》是一場視覺饗宴，也帶出人在面對新環境中種種困難和挫折所需要的勇氣和堅持 (M.葛梅茲／佛羅里達) 我唸中學的兒子才剛轉到新學校就讀，在環境適應上頗有挫折感。這本書剛好可以告訴他，「改變」對任何人來說都是困難的，不只是孩子會感受到壓力及緊張，大人也一樣。故事不僅感人，更富含「肯定良善人性」的正面意義 (丹／日本) 主角抵達新世界之後，所面臨到種種環境不適應所引發的不知所措和失落感相當觸動人心，任何有類似經歷的人都會心有戚戚焉。儘管如此，它富含「肯定良善人性」的光明面和積極意義。不同年齡、不同文化背景或是階層的人都可以在書中抽取不同的經驗、感受到不同的情緒。強烈推薦給渴望或是正在追尋「歸屬感」的人 (露絲／威斯康辛) 這些插畫實在了不起，事實上，純粹圖畫沒有文字的表現形式使得我在「閱讀」這本書時獲得了很獨特的感覺。我強烈推薦給所有喜歡圖像小說的人、關心移民議題的人，或是努力在自己的生活圈裡尋求「歸屬感」的朋友們！ ★國際媒體一致推薦?2007義大利波隆那書展評審團：這本書有成為『想像力聖經』的潛力 「書中各人物以兼具感人、新奇、迷濛、富想像卻又憂鬱的『無聲語言』，娓娓述說各自的故事，創造了揉合電影、攝影、插畫和廣告技巧的新世界，使得這本書有成為『想像力聖經』的潛力。讓人讚賞的是，在這裡靜默的世界裡，主角的情緒、哀而不傷的氣氛不時在書頁間穿梭、呢喃，並不因為缺少文字而降低了情緒的張力或是抑制了瀰漫全書對美好未來期待的呼喚。」 ?紐約時報：豐富又蓄滿力量的視覺意象激起讀者迫不及待看到陳志勇下一本圖像小說！ 「《抵岸》封面的設計成老舊泛黃的皮革，以家族相簿的主題概念忠實貫穿全書的故事情節。作者完全避開傳統漫畫書慣用的音效、表情符號及其他的設計技巧，裡面不管是獨立的小圖像或是佔滿頁面的圖像沾上大小摺痕、淚跡以及污漬，更讓讀者引發，自己觀看的是一張張年代久遠的相片的感覺。整體的效果讓人驚艷，感覺像是自己在翻看剛自閣樓上意外尋到傳家寶一般珍惜又感動。」?雪梨先鋒早報：《抵岸》印證了古老的諺語—一幅畫勝過千言萬語 「要找到適當的字來形容繪本作者陳志勇的作品以及陳志勇本人並不容易，但是看過了他極具宣染力的視覺溝通，沉默似乎也不失為一個適宜的反應。從繪本的角度來看，這本書明顯的異於其他繪本：儘管作品被歸類於兒童書籍，陳志勇偏愛探索複雜的主題，這些經過氣氛營造和精密構圖的主題並不會因此嚇跑了年輕讀者，反而讓他們有機會培養移情力去聯想故事以及更棒的視覺鑑賞力。讀者在這裡即透過主角的臉部表情和肢體語言來體會他此刻的感受。即使那些覺得孩子還不需要應付這麼深澳主題的家長們，可別輕易錯過了這本書，這本書絕對也能打動他們的心。就讓圖畫說話吧！」?書訊：囊括國際各大獎項的《抵岸》在形式和內容上都證明了令人讚賞的藝術作品就該是這個樣子！ 「陳志勇用相片形式的方格圖像來述說全書的情節以及從其以生出的枝節故事。他利用方格的大小縮放、顏色的變化、光影的移動和圖像排列來引導讀者進入故事，迷濛柔和的色調營造懷舊的氣氛，同時也加入了大量的意象和暗喻，似乎隱含某些真實事件或是某區域的影子，但是在建築物和動植物外觀上卻又引入未來的元素，使得全書的精神延伸成無國界、無特定文化背景的普世故事。細緻的氛圍和雄偉的意象在這裡完美結合，使得《抵岸》成為此類書籍的傑作。」?學校圖書館月刊：《抵岸》可說是今年最令人讚賞的一本書。 「在這本無字的圖像小說中，陳志勇傳神的描繪出遷移者來到新環境中所面臨的紛亂感及畏懼。不過，他也不忘帶出光明的一面：我們幾乎可以在每一頁看到不分年齡、種族和文化背景的人性光輝透過紙面散發出的溫暖和關懷。年輕的讀者會被書中新世界裡各種新奇的設計強烈吸引：球狀的飛行電梯、貓頭鷹型狀的村落、外觀怪異到不行的小動物……他們會仔細觀察在書中各個小細節，流連在漫無邊際的想像裡。」

Tony Chu is a detective with a secret. A weird secret. Tony Chu is Cibopathic,
which means he gets psychic impressions from whatever he eats. It also means
he's a hell of a detective, as long as he doesn't mind nibbling on the corpse
of a murder victim to figure out whodunit, and why. He's been brought on by the
Special Crimes Division of the FDA, the most powerful law enforcement agency
on the planet, to investigate their strangest, sickest, and most bizarre cases.
