But Sandman is where it all went bad. And then the whole thing with his anti-Napster stance came along and blew his credibility out of the water.

He really should have stopped at Justice, which along with Puppets were the zenith of his career.

  Justice? Puppets?
  
  What are you talking about - neither of these are Gaiman works I'm at all familiar with, and I'm a pretty dedicated Gaiman fanboi. Nor do I know of any substantial anti-Napster stance he's ever taken - he's generally in favor of protecting his copyrights, but not absurdly so at all - he's repeatedly been in favor of people buying his books used or borrowing them from friends, and is quite friendly to the fanfiction community.

  Why are we still harping on Sandman, all these years later?
  Umm... this is slashdot. We are running a rehash of a 30 year old operating system if we're lucky. The creators don't even approve.
  
  We know what we like and we like what we know.
  
  Thanks,

  PS I've bookmarked this so next time I have money for comics I can check your recommendations out.
  
  PPS No, I'm not making fun of linux. Or BSD.
  
  PPPS Between my brother and I, we can't keep a full set of the Sandman because they seem to be loaned out:)
  
  PPPPS AFAIK, nothing above a PS is a proper acronym.

Maybe they can have Slashdotting as one of their evil character's supernatural abilities.
