I've heard that The Sandman generally had more female readers than the average comic series. Why is that?

It's all that diversity and sjw stuff, but done decently.
Have no idea, Morpheus treats every women except Death like shit
>>92717513
Gaiman already had a large female fan base from his books, which being fantasy appeal more to women.
>>92717513
We women have better taste, and basicaly control most fandoms.
The plot doesn't consist of Dick von Iron punching effeminate villains?
>>92717513
Does it really matter?

He treats them like shit because he's waiting for the female reader's self-insert mary sue goddess which he will eventually meet in fanfiction.
It wasn't an action comic (particularly not superhero) and it had literary references, this put it more in line with conventional female tastes.

He didn't have a fanbase before Sandman
Was that newer Sandman volume worth reading? I assumed it was just a cash grab at the time.
>>92717899
A cash grab for what? Its a prequel Gaiman wrote himself? Are you retarded?
>>92717513
well in the 90's it was either Sandman or Strangers in Paradise
>>92717899
To answer your question. Yes, get that shit.
Lots of hot guys.

If nothing else, J.H. Williams is the greatest artist working in comics today.

You can have cash grabs written by the original author. Gaiman doesn't need cash right now of course, but like Marvel 1602 was a cash grab by Gaiman to pay for the spawn suit.

You heard this because it makes for a good story, not necessarily because it's true.
It's impossible to measure since local LCS shops didn't (and still don't) keep statistics for this sort of thing.

oh boi
>>92717725
That would explain why 99% of fandoms are autistic and shitspouting crazy

I think the best metric for it is cons. Like when I was set up near Crossgen's booth back when Crossgen existed and like a third of the people who visited them were women.
