Wouldn't "The Sandman" have been even more amazing if Dave Mckean had illustrated the entire thing?

I love the Sandman series. I think it is one of the crowning achievements of the comic book form, but most of the art strikes me as pretty uninspired. There are exceptions, but for the most part I think it’s too eighties superhero.The covers, however, are some of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen. I think Dave Mckean’s surreal collages and stylized line-work captures the feel of the series perfectly, and I wouldn’t hesistate to buy the entire series had he been contracted to do the whole thing.

Assigning value to art is of course totally subjective, but compare this to this and tell me you wouldn’t want the whole series to have that kind of visual standard.
