It is for mature   audiences only. Just like the original graphic novels, this audio adaptation   contains explicit language and graphic violence, as well as strong sexual   content and themes. Discretion is advised.        Hailed by the Los Angeles Times Magazine as “the greatest epic in the   history of comic books”, The Sandman changed the game with its dark, literary   world of fantasy and horror - creating a global, cultural phenomenon in the   process. At long last, Audible and DC present the first-ever audio production   of the New York Times best-selling series written by acclaimed storyteller   Neil Gaiman (who also serves as co-executive producer). Adapted and directed   by multi-award-winner (and frequent Gaiman collaborator) Dirk Maggs, and   performed by an ensemble cast with Toshiyuki Morikawa (Mission Impossible,   Zootopia, Sengoku BASARA) in the title role, this first installment of a   multi-part original audio series will transport you to a world that re-writes   the rules of audio entertainment the way that The Sandman originally   re-defined the graphic novel.         When The Sandman, also known as Lord Morpheus - the immortal king of   dreams, stories and the imagination - is pulled from his realm and imprisoned   on Earth by a nefarious cult, he languishes for decades before finally   escaping. Once free, he must retrieve the three “tools” that will restore his   power and help him to rebuild his dominion, which has deteriorated in his   absence. As the multi-threaded story unspools, The Sandman descends into Hell   to confront Lucifer , chases rogue nightmares who have escaped his realm, and   crosses paths with an array of characters from DC comic books, ancient myths,   and real-world history, including: Inmates of Gotham City's Arkham Asylum,   Doctor Destiny, the muse Calliope, the three Fates, William Shakespeare, and   many more.         A powerhouse suppo","html":"<iframe src=\"https://art19.com/shows/the-sandman-japanese-edition/embed\" style=\"width: 720px; height: 505px; border: 0 none;\" width=\"720\" height=\"505\" scrolling=\"no\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"></iframe>","provider_name":"ART19","provider_url":"https://art19.com","title":"The Sandman (Japanese Edition)","type":"rich","version":"1.0","width":720,"height":505}
