Sandman #17 - So Where Do You Get Your Ideas? Sep 30, 2020

Show notes

WARNING: the issue we discuss has sexual assault in its story. Kevin and Will review a gruesome tale of horror and revenge in the Sandman issue "Callopie." An evil writer is out of ideas so he does what so many young artists to: he enslaves a Roman muse. We get into this story as an example of how well Sandman can show evil and justice, and we learn some key info on Dream's personal history. Also the Three Fates show up. That's pretty wild.
