Re:Sandman Annual #1 was one of my favs.

On: First New Gaiman Sandman In 7 Years

On the last page, you find out it was all just a story an old man was telling a little boy to keep his spirits up while the Americans are bombing Baghdad during the war, and you see what a wreck the story is, &c. &c. &c. Super-cool

Are you sure about that? I thought the storyteller /was/ the Sultan, still alive after about 1200 years. (There was enough chronology to figure out approximately when the deal was made, but I don't remember it now). I base this on the fact that the storyteller and the sultan are drawn alike.
