6. "A Dream of a Thousand Cats"

4. "A Midsummer Night's Dream"

Not sure what 8 refers to, but there's always the one with the superheroine looking for a way out, for variation. I think it's in Dream Country.

8. is "Men of Good Fortune" I believe. I'd also add John Constantine but I reckon Cliffy's already read Hellblazer and Swamp-Thing (which I, sadly enough), haven't) so that would be nothing to him.

Thanks D!

I think that's the Hob Gadling story 'Men of Good Fortune' . It's in The Doll House

Just finished reading the first 25 issues of Sandman, which I never bothered with before now.

All I can say is "Damn."

I wasn't quite sure what to expect. I thought, at first, that it was going to be nothing but fanboy-hyped cr*p. However, after downloading issues 1-75 (were there any more after that, or is that the end of the series?), I was pleasantly surprised to find that it really does live up to its reputation.

It's a closed series. There are one or two specials, the two Death mini-series, a recent graphic novel and a few other minor bits & pieces... and please feel free to PM me with where you managed to d/l scans...

I heard that 'Sandman' series was continued in 'The Dreaming'. Is that true?

Denyer, for comic scans I recommend Direct Connect, though you usually have to share (sometimes insanely big) certain amount of files yourself to be let into the hubs.

I used bittorrent, and I much prefer it to DC or Kazaa when it comes to downloads.

So far I've used it to d/l a bunch of comics, all of Invader Zim, seasons one and two of Freakazoid, Rounders, and League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
