A note for parents
The Sandman is a sophisticated, adult-oriented graphic novel that weaves mythology, literature, and philosophy into its storytelling. While not graphically violent, it contains mature themes including sexual coercion, psychological torment, and existential dread that require emotional maturity to process. The series rewards thoughtful reading and offers rich cultural and literary value, but is best suited for mid-to-older teens and adults.
