The Sandman is one of the most enduring series of the past 30 years, with the ten trade paperbacks comprising its 75 issues (to say nothing of the numerous spinoffs, one-shots, and companion stories which flesh out the characters and universe) remaining strong sellers years after release. The exploits of Dream and his dysfunctional Endless siblings form the basis of this thoughtful and complex tale which has captivated a wide spectrum of readers. So why upload this 56-issue torrent when there are countless others containing a more complete experience? The short answer: these issues are better. Like, way better. Think VHS vs IMAX. Once you see these, there's no way you could read the other versions out there. Trust me. Or read on to find out why. Due to its success, people were scanning Sandman as soon as it became possible to trade comics online. While the people that did this deserve all the credit in the world for their hard work and patience, years of steadily improving scanning techniques and hardware left the popular Sandman rips in the dust. When DC began releasing Absolute Sandman volumes in 2006 featuring brand spanking new coloring, the old Sandman scans' grainy blacks, washed-out colors, and imperfections such as staple holes became more noticeable than ever. After years of getting by with those flawed copies, the friendly badasses of Empire gave us these digital rips of recolored Sandman comics like Prometheus brought fire to the people. The difference in quality can't really be overstated, and I'd highly encourage you to compare the first issue of this torrent against any other you can find on TPB to see it for yourself. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any trace of the remaining issues, and even these aren't as easy to find as they should be. Thanks to Neil Gaiman for creating such a great comic, DC/Vertigo for putting them out, the talented rippers, editors, and uploaders from Empire for making these available, and anybody who downloads and seeds this for distributing it to more people. Sweet dreams.
Thanks mate! This awesome!

thanks for sharing Rakoth
A masterful collection from Empire (and thanks to Rakoth for re-posting). I'm still hoping for the last part of the series to be released in such wonderful quality, too...

What is Empire? These are the recolored versions of the series that were done for the Absolute books, later released one issue at a time through DC Digital. Issues 57-75 and the Sandman Special (The Song of Orpheus) are also available.
Leonard, Empire is the group of people who ripped and converted the comics. Thank you for clarifying some of the info from the description.
Everyone else, thanks for seeding and enjoying. Strangely enough, shortly after this went up I started hearing another Empire ripper just completed a full 1-75 run in even higher resolution. I'm trying to get my hands on it to share soon.

I'm not trying to be a jerk here, but I think this needs to be clarified. There is no 'ripping' involved. You can go to DC Digital and buy all 75 issues of the recolored issues that were done for the Absolute editions. I know this, because I've had them (the issues in this upload) for quite some time. It's very clear when you look at them that these weren't done by a home scanner. They're absolutely perfect in every way. I understand that somebody had to download (likely from SLSK, where they've been for a long time), compile and distribute them as a torrent, but making it seem like they've done something special kind of bothers me. Of course, I'm against scanner tags to begin with, so take this as you will.
Yes, you are correct in stating these are available digitally and aren't scans. That's why I put digital in the title of the torrent, the description, the tags, and never said it was scanned. If you want to quibble over the parameters of a rip, more power to you I guess, but purchasing these from DC Digital or Comixology doesn't just give you DRM-free CBRs. There is a process involved in creating these, Empire is the only group to have taken the time to go through that process, and I think they deserve the credit for that (which isn't exactly asking you to grovel and send them a donation).
I know we're getting way out into the weeds here and most people don't care, but I'm kind of curious about your feelings against scanner tags. If nothing else, it's helpful to figure out if you're downloading something better than what you have and serves as a mark of quality. If you have scans of Preacher that aren't tagged and look like crap, it's tough to figure out if a different untagged Preacher torrent is better, worse, or exactly the same.

Awesome download!
